Depending on the application, reducing the sensitivity can filter out erroneous measure-
ments and prevent them from being taken in the first place. For use on a vehicle in a dusty
environment, it is possible to reduce the sensitivity of the lower layers yet retain the full
scanning range of the upper layers to make it possible to detect obstacles or objects that
are further away.
NOTICE
If the LD-MRS has been mounted upside down, make sure that the "Upper layers" and
"Lower layers" columns are swapped over and that the "Upside down active" option has
been activated.
The sensitivity is generally reduced to 60% of the original scanning range.
