Benewake TFA1200-L
Datasheet
The TFA1200-L is a long-range distance measurement dToF LiDAR that can achieve high- precision measurements for targets with varying reflectivity, even in strong sunlight conditions. It features a compact size and lightweight design, making it particularly suitable for integration into UAV gimbals. Additionally, it is widely used in industries such as perimeter security, overhead crane hook collision prevention, and engineering surveying. 1 Technical Specifications

2.2 Custom configuration
The master controller and the range finder use a master-slave communication method, where the master controller sends control commands to the range finder, which receives and executes the instructions. In the ranging state, the range finder periodically sends data and status back to the host computer.The communication format and command content are shown in Table 2. The format of command message to LiDAR is as follows: STX0 CMD LEN DATAH DATAL CHK
The data message format of the LiDAR is as follows: STX0 CMD_JG LEN DATAn DATA0 CHK
