Introduction to OndoNet

After connecting the ConfigBox to your sensor and entering “config.box” in your browser’s address bar you will see the User Interface of OndoNet as displayed in the figure below.

If you experience slow performance enter “10.10.42.1” into the browser instead of “config.box”. In case the page does not load, make sure the LAN port of the PC is set to "DHCP" (i.e. automatically obtaining an IP address). To check this go to the Ethernet settings of your PC.

Description of the navigation tree on the left:

Home: Returns you to the home page.
OS12345: Expands to reveal the following menu options:
- Sensor Configuration: The main page where you can view measured distances and modify parameters.
- IO Configuration: Configure the switching and analog outputs here.
- Save/Load Configuration: Save, load or reset your sensor configurations on this page.
Recorded Measurements: Access your recorded distance measurements here, which were initially recorded on the Measurement Details page.
Sensor Management: Find information about your sensor’s version and type.
Tutorials & Documentation: For additional information, click here to be redirected to the support website.
OndoNet Update: Update the OndoNet software on your configuration page via this page.
Contact: Find OndoSense's contact information here.

The Details button located below the sensor image redirects you to the Sensor Configuration page, and the IO Config button takes you to the IO Configuration page.

The numbers in the bottom left corner display the version of your OndoNet software.

After navigating to the Sensor Configuration page you should see OndoNet as displayed in the figure below.

Introduction_measurement_details(1)-20240723-114516.png — Sensor Configuration page of OndoNet

1. Settings Panel:
Measurement Range	Standard	All signals received from outside the specified measuring range will be ignored.
Adjust Signal Amplification	Standard	Find the best amplifier parameter values.
Restart Measurement	Standard	Reinitializes all charts and reloads the page.
Radar Profile	Standard	Change the radar profile.
View Mode	Standard	Change from Standard to Advanced View.
Reset High Precision Mode Interval	Standard (only available for sensors with HP Mode)	Defines the time after which a measurement in High Precision Mode is reset, after it loses its target.
Background Calibration	Advanced	Takes a "snapshot" of the signals visible in the spectrum and subtracts these signals for all measurements done after the calibration, ensuring that only relevant signals are measured.
Distance Offset	Advanced	This value is added to the distance value.
Fast Mode	Advanced	Maximises the output rate of the distance values in the Target View by limiting the data that is being transmitted between sensor and ConfigBox.

2. Target View (displays the measured distance over time):
Full Range	Standard	Displays the measured distance over time.
Details	Standard	The resolution of the y-axis is refined to enable you to view smaller variations of the distance in more detail.
Record	Standard	Enables to record distance value data and to export the data as CSV-file.
Switch Mode	Standard (only available for sensors with HP Mode)	Switches to High-Precision Mode.
Filter	Advanced	Filters sudden distance measurement jumps.
Smoothing	Advanced	Applies an exponential averaging.

3. Spectrum View (shows the signals received by the sensor over the measuring range. Note that the amplitude scale has arbitrary units):
Magnitude/Add Hold	Standard	Hides or unhides the magnitude data/ Freezes or unfreezes the magnitude data.
Threshold (Offset)	Standard	Sets a constant signal amplitude threshold over the complete distance.
Peak Selection	Standard	Select the peak sorting methode.
Fix scale	Standard	Fixes the scaling of the y-axis.
Threshold Sensitivity	Advanced	Suppresses undesired signals near the target signal.
Peak	Advanced	Select the peak you need for your measurement task.
Threshold/Add Hold	Advanced	Hides or unhides the threshold data/ Freezes or unfreezes the threshold data.
Detected Peak(s)	Advanced	Hides/Shows all the peaks that are detected in the spectrum.

4. Raw Data View (shows how the sampled time domain raw data):
I Channel/Add Hold	Advanced	Hides or unhides the I channel data/ Freezes or unfreezes the I channel data.
Q Channel/Add Hold	Advanced	Hides or unhides the Q channel data/ Freezes or unfreezes the Q channel data.
Fix scale	Advanced	Fixes the scaling of the y-axis.
Amplifiers	Advanced	Click AUTOGAIN in the Settings panel for an automatic optimization.
