1.1 Basic Power-on Checks

After the assembly, the sensor board is powered up. The boot-up current drawn from the supply is measured and made sure that it is within the limits. The test program is executed which takes the sensor board through the sequence of tests described in the following sections.

The Radar Test GUI is a program that controls the Radar chip and processes the data that the Sensor captures. It is a custom program developed by the user suiting their end application and test hardware interface available.
