When we use Ping-viewer, we only need to set range, gain, and field of view. However, we can't set the number of samples in the ping-viewer, which is required in API control and seems we can't adjust it based on range automatically like other parameters. In my test, the number of samples/ data length can be 1200 or 666. They looks random and I am confused of how it works in ping-viewer. Are 1200 and 666 the default number of samples? Or ping-viewer has some rules to set it? Thanks
