How-To

Build a first capture with Set Up a Sensor and Sample a Depth Grid. Together they define the sensor, its transmitter and receiver layouts, the emitted rays and the requested output. Each recipe has a USDA layer and an equivalent Python authoring example.

The scan and finite-width beam recipes modify that depth configuration. Independent receivers, mechanical propagation and stored alternatives start from the base sensor instead. Choose the next recipe by the geometry, firing schedule or receiver connections your application needs:

• Set Up a Sensor
• Sample a Depth Grid
• Configure a Full-Circle Scan
• Sample a Finite-Width Beam
• Connect Independent Transmitters and Receivers
• Select Mechanical Propagation
• Switch Stored Patterns
