Congratulations on your purchase of a V elodyne HDL- 32E High Definition LiDAR Sensor . This sensor provides state-of-the-art 3D imaging. This manual describes how to set up and operate the HDL-32E, covers installation and wiring, addresses output packet construction and interpretation, along with GPS installation notes.
Principles of Operation The HDL-32E creates 360° 3D images by using 32 laser/detector pairs whose housing rapidly spins to scan the surrounding environment. This design allows for the lasers to each fire thousands of times per second, providing a rich, 3D point cloud.
This section describes the standard set up assuming you are connecting the sensor to a standard computer or laptop and mounting the sensor on a vehicle. For other connections and mounting locations, please contact Velodyne for technical assistance. T he standard setup involves: 1.
Connect Power and Computer The sensor units are commonly used in vehicle applications where standard 12 volt, 2 amp power is readily available. 1. Connect the interface module to power . 2. Connect the Ethernet connector to a standard PC or laptop RJ45 Ethernet port.
The HDL-32E sensor needs no configuration, calibration, or other setup to begin producing usable data. Once the unit is mounted and wired, supplying it power will cause it to start scanning and producing data packets. The quickest way to watch the HDL-32E in action is to use Digital Sensor Recorder (DSR), the viewer software included with the unit.
Alternatively , the calibration data can be found in the included db.xml file found on the CD included with the HDL- 32E. The calibration data for vertCorrection is the vertical correction angle for each laser, as viewed from the back of the unit and stated in degrees.
External GPS Time Synchronization The HDL- 32E can synchronize its data with precis ion GPS-supplied time pulses to enable users to ascertain the exact firing time of each laser in any particular packet. This capability requires a GPS receiver generating a sync pulse and the $GPRMC NMEA record over a dedicated RS-232 serial port.

Packet Format and Status Byte for GPS T ime Stamping The 6 extra bytes at the end of the HDL- 32E data packet are used to report GPS timing. For every packet, the last 6 bytes are formatted as follows: 4 bytes: 32 bit unsigned integer time stamp. This value represents microseconds from the top of the hour to the first laser firing in the packet.
Laser Firing Sequence The laser firing order is the same as the order in the Ethernet packet. The most downward laser fires first, followed by the interle aved firings from the lower and upper “banks” of 16 lasers, as follows: The interleaving firing pattern is designed is to avoid and potential ghosting caused primarily by retro-reflectors.

Digital Sensor Recorder (DSR) DSR is a windows-based 3 D point cloud visualizati on software program designed for use with the HDL- 32E. This software is a n “out of the box” tool for the rendering and recording of point cloud data from the HDL unit.
Once the input of streaming data has been confirmed through the live playback feature, click on the Record button and the program will request the name and location for the pcap file to be created. Recording will begin immediately once the file information has been entered.

Data Packet Format The HDL-32E outputs two UDP Ethernet packets — a data packet containing laser firing data located on Port 2368 and a positioning packet which contains GPS and positioning data located on Port 8308. The packet at Port 2368 contains a header, a data payload of firing data and status data.

Calibration and Orientation There are six axes of variation when determining the exact location of any given laser fi ring for the HDL-32. The axes are x, y , z, along with rotational, horizontal, and vertical angles. X, Y , Z. Both x and y offsets are zero and are calculated from the centerline of the device.
