Open dataset: 59 ERDI laser rangefinder models

The same table the selector runs on, as JSON and CSV, free to download and cite. Transcribed from the linked manufacturer's model pages; test conditions included so a range number can never be read without its caveat.

Mirror: github.com/erdilrf-afk/erdi-lrf-specs — the same JSON and CSV, versioned, so any row can be diffed against an earlier copy.

Reference tables

Table	Answers
Range conditions	What target, reflectance and visibility each published range was measured against
Interfaces	Which interface class each model uses, as published, plus supply and mass
Optics	Divergence, aperture, pulse energy, update rate, and spot size at 1 km
By application	Six job profiles with matching models and the selection rule stated
Sources and method	How the dataset was extracted, what was excluded, and how to check a row
Test method	The four parameters a range claim needs, the measurement sequence, and the report we accept as evidence

Fields

Field	Meaning
model, slug	Manufacturer model code and URL slug
family	`rangefinder`, `lidar_sensor` or `laser_source`
wavelength_nm, band	Laser wavelength in nm; `band` is 905 / 940 / 1535
range_max_m	Maximum measuring range in metres, parsed from the published figure
range_min_m	Minimum or blind range in metres where published
range_condition	Verbatim published test condition for that range figure
accuracy_m, accuracy_raw	Ranging accuracy in metres, plus the original string (some are proportional, not fixed)
rate_hz, rate_raw	Update rate in Hz where a single figure applies, plus the original string
divergence_mrad, energy_uj	Beam divergence and normalized pulse energy in microjoules. Read the original qualifier in energy_raw before interpreting an energy value.
energy_raw	The manufacturer's complete pulse-energy field, including its inequality or range and original unit.
iface, supply, weight_g, dimensions, temp, ip	Electrical and mechanical envelope
laser_class	Safety statement as printed by the manufacturer — not a classification of your finished product
url	Canonical manufacturer page for the model

Known limits

No prices. Commercial terms come from ERDI directly.
Accuracy is a scalar where the manufacturer gives one; where the accuracy is proportional (D > 100 m, or %) the raw string is authoritative, not the scalar.
Range figures are not normalised. A 23 km row and a 12 km row are not comparable unless you compare their conditions, which is why range_condition ships alongside.
Twelve rows are laser_source: no receiver, no range.
