What distance is recommended for performing the sight alignment test on a LIDAR unit?

The recommended distance for performing the sight alignment test on a LIDAR unit is 100 feet. This distance is optimal because it allows for accurate alignment and calibration of the unit, ensuring that the measurements taken by the LIDAR will be precise. At 100 feet, operators can effectively assess the performance and accuracy of the LIDAR system, as it represents a practical distance that is representative of typical operational scenarios where the device is used in the field. This distance strikes a balance between ensuring visibility of the target and allowing the LIDAR to operate effectively, making it the standard practice for calibration and testing procedures.
