2.9.4 Maximum Radial Velocity (m/s)

This is a slider that prompts users to select the desired Maximum Radial Velocity in meters/second. Select the value based on the maximum radial velocity you expect the targets to be moving in within the radar field of view.

Effects on other user knobs:

Radial Velocity Resolution is directly proportional to the Maximum Radial Velocity setting. Setting this slider to lower values provides finer Radial Velocity Resolution, versus setting this slider to higher values providing coarser Radial Velocity Resolution.

CLI command details: defines the idle time in µs in the profileCfg command.
