It measures to a fraction of an inch. That would be an equivalent frequency of maybe 100 GHz which is a bit difficult, even inside an FPGA. Does this require multiple inputs with varying delays to define timing to a finer resolution than the clock period? -- Rick C. - Get 1,000 miles of free Supercharging - Tesla referral code - https://ts.la/richard11209

I have only seen a few hundred MHz FPGA.

If you are correct, so why do they present 2D laser scanner functionality on images ? Single point laser Lidar requires rotating head to work \so some kind od mechanics is involved
