Connecting your Livox LiDAR sensor to your computer and getting started with Livox Viewer 2 involves a few key steps.
First, establish the physical connection: Ensure your Livox device is powered by a 12V source. Then, connect the Livox device to your computer using a network cable, plugging directly into your PC's network port. If you're using a router, connect to a LAN port, not the WAN port, to avoid potential issues. Important: Verify that the IP address type hasn't been altered.
Next, configure your computer for optimal communication: Temporarily disable your computer's firewall to allow uninterrupted data transmission from the Livox device. Set a static IP address on your computer, such as 192.168.1.2, using a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1. Ensure your computer has a compatible graphics card driver, as the performance of Livox Viewer 2 depends on your graphics card.
Now, prepare the software: Download the latest version of Livox Viewer 2 from the official Livox website and install it according to your operating system. Once installed, launch Livox Viewer 2. Familiarize yourself with the interface, paying attention to the toolbar buttons for device , point cloud display, and parameter settings.
Finally, start using the software: Connect to your Livox device within Livox Viewer 2. Begin capturing and recording point cloud data as needed. You can adjust device parameters through the parameter setting interface. For device maintenance, use the firmware upgrade option to update your Livox LiDAR sensor's firmware, following on-screen instructions. Explore additional features like file conversion, noise filtering, grid property configuration, and color coding. Refer to the Livox Viewer 2 user manual for more detailed instructions and troubleshooting tips.
