AndiScan micro is an advanced ballistic velocity Doppler radar for measuring muzzle velocity of projectiles. It operates in 24GHz frequency band. It is a highly integrated and extremely small form-factor device that is intended to be directly mounted on the rifle. This frees the user from a complicated setup alignment and it also allows to perform measurements under dynamic conditions. It is a first device of this form-factor on the public market.
Latest updates
- (12/2023) A2/Mark-ii Firmware – see details at support page.
- (3/2023) case – improved advanced industrial plastic technology (used in all 2023 production)
A2/Mark-ii new features
- FW Compatibility, installation instructions and details – see support page.
- FW is compatible with all HW A2.2. All current AndiScan A2 users can easily upgrade to A2/Mark-ii.
- Triggering by Signal detection
- A2/Mark-ii can now trigger by direct signal detection as an alternative to standard acoustic pressure triggering. A direct signal detection allows triggering by silent sources and it is not affected by other shooters.
- Series data autosaving and current series editing
- A2ii autosaves the series data to SD card after each shot or after you edit (delete) shots.
- Active series measurement can be browsed directly in the measurement screen by [Back/Next] buttons.
- Arbitrary shot (either the last one or any previous when in browsing mode) can be deleted by [Back_Long] press.
- The series is finalised (no further editable) to SD card by [Next_Long] press.
- Extended H measurement range
- The signal processing in H (High) measurement range now allows for speeds up to 1500 mps.
- User interface improvements
- Main measurement screen is simplified and has much larger fonts for easier reading.
- All configuration screens now have more intuitive editing.
- Factory defaults reset
- A selected configuration profile can be reset to factory defaults.
- Expert mode
- Expert mode is now needed only for selecting L (Low) measurement range and for Manual (MAN) measurement mode. All other configurations are available in Standard mode.
- Remote Shell application and Bluetooth (BLE) connectivity
- AndiScan Remote Shell Application enables to remotely control the device, remotely view the displayed and measured data and access the stored data.
New and updated features of A2 model
- completely redesigned electronics – to make the device more robust, better serviceable and to allow new functionalities
- modifications of the mechanical form factor – better ergonomics of keys, easier battery access, SD card slot in more robust position against acceleration shocks, unified dimensions of mounting slots
- real time clock – allows to keep a track of time and date in measurement data
- extended configuration of transceiver HW – allows fine offset setting of carrier frequency for better interference control, gain of the receiver can be set to two values for handling extremely weak and extremely strong signals
- remote trigger option – allows precise triggering with minimal latency (less than 200 microseconds) for almost “true” V0 measurement or for a triggering of the device in special measurement setups
- internal memory independent of SD card – for storing last 100 measured data
- automatic self-calibration of internal trigger sensor – better and repeatable settings in wide range of environmental conditions
- improved browsing of stored data – long key press for fast changes
- power profile display – 16 slot line display showing relative power of the received signal over the measurement window. It allow the user to find possible problems with triggering or with aiming the antenna.
- mounting side-offset compensation – (see Chapter 5 of User Guide) the compensation of the side offset allows to find a true V0 velocity value.
- improved signal processing – the processing is more tolerant to proper positioning of the device and eliminates some imperfections of radio wave propagation
- SD/ES display choice
Key features
- Micro form-factor allows a direct mount on the rifle. The form-factor minimization was a main design target.
- The direct rifle mount close to the chamber enables to trigger the device by a direct transmission of the shot vibration waves. It makes a reliable and short latency triggering.
- Short latency triggering allows to perform a velocity measurement directly on close-to-muzzle range. This avoids the need of any measurement extrapolations to get the muzzle velocity.
- Signal processing is optimized for velocity measurement precision and for small device form-factor.
- A full velocity measurement statistic including graphical histogram data are provided.
- The device explicitly estimate its own measurement precision (99% confidence interval) based on received signal-to-noise ratio.
