"Save setting" instruction must be sent after setting parameters, otherwise the parameter doesn't take effect after restarting. 2 When the command is longer than 8 bytes, it needs to be distributed into multiple CAN data frames. And interval between every data frame can't be longer than 20ms. Page11 4 FAQ SJ-PM-TFmini-i A01 Manual Benewake(Beijing)Co., Ltd Q1: Can the FOV (spot) of TFmini-i be increased or decreased? A1: Generally, this is a customized demand. You need to contact our sale colleague for further details. FOV is determined at the beginning of product design. Determination of FOV is also related to the optical system and the product structure. Therefore, it cannot be easily changed, and needs to be customized. Q2: Can I change the frequency of data output? A2: Yes, customization of parameter configuration is supported in TFmini-i. You may consult our sales colleague or technical support for further details. Other common questions please refer to SJ-PM-TFmini-S A01 Product Manual on our website.
