    The Message ID is represented by 2 bytes, Byte2 is the low byte, and Byte3 is the high byte. For example, the output of the NRA24 message is 0xAA 0xAA | 0x0A 0x06 | Data Payload | 0x55 0x55, which indicates that the message ID is 0x60A (NRA24 system status) and Data Payload is the NRA24 system status.

    R / W are 1, that is, writing parameters, Parameter is defined according to DataType. 5.2 NRA24 back (Sensor Back) After the PC or other MCU sends the configuration signal to NRA24, NRA24 will return the execution result. The format is shown in the following table. The start sequence (0xAAAA) and the termination sequence (0x5555) have been omitted from the table.

    RollCount is continuously cycled between 0-1-2-3-0-1-2-3 ••••••. When the PC or an external MCU cannot process the output data of the NRA24 sensor in time, it will cause the received RollCount value to be discontinuous. At this time a faster removal methods should be found to solve this problem.
  • Page 12 The value of each field in the table is not the true value of the target information. The true value of the target information needs to be calculated through the following relations: Index IndexValue Target ID = 1. According to Track information, NRA24 outputs only one target. RcsValue*0.5 – 50 Factory test retention value, do not do output Range (RangeHValue*256 + RangeLValue)*0.01...

    8 Frequently asked questions (FAQ) (1) Q: What about the angular accuracy of NRA24? A: NRA24 is a 24GHz mmw radar altimeter with 1T1R antenna, which is developed by Nanoradar. It cannot measure the target angle. For the radar with more than two receiving antennas, it has the ability to measure the angle.
