1 Introduction
The Stalker Stationary Speed Sensor is a complete Doppler Radar in a small,
rugged housing. Its direction sensing capabilities and its feature-rich
configuration settings allow it to filter out undesired targets and focus on targets
of interest.
Depending on the model purchased, the Speed Sensor connects to the serial
port on a PC or other controller via an RS-232 or RS-485 link. This interface is
used to configure the unit and to monitor the speed data it sends out. The Speed
Sensor can be configured to report the speeds of targets it acquires in many
formats – from short ASCII character strings to larger data packets with speed
and status information.
The RS-232 models can stream speed data and monitor for commands from the
controller at the same time. The RS-485 models only communicate one way at a
time; they never stream data since they are the slave on the link. They only
respond to commands and speed requests from the controller. They have the
benefit of operating over longer cable distances from the controller, and also
multiple Stationary RS-485 units can be installed in a point-to-multipoint
configuration and controlled from a single serial port on the controller.
The compact, waterproof unit can be mounted almost anywhere. Just supply 9-
16 VDC power, and the Speed Sensor produces serial speed data configured for
your application.
