[0071] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

Furthermore, the term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0077] The sensor in this application is an optical electric field sensor. At present, the main technical means of integrated optical electric field sensors is to utilize the electro-optical effect of lithium niobate crystals, load the spatial electric field signal to the modulation electrode through the antenna, load the electric field information between the waveguide arms, and use the electro-optical effect characteristics of lithium niobate crystals to modulate the light waves propagating in the waveguide by the electric field, and infer the electric field intensity by measuring the output light intensity. However, the sensor can only achieve linear detection at the linear working point, and this working point is easily disturbed by the physical characteristics of the sensor and drifts. External temperature changes will cause the pyroelectric effect of lithium niobate crystals to change the refractive index of the crystal, and external light changes will cause photorefractive effects. Stress changes will cause elastic-optical effects on the electrodes and buffer layers on the crystal surface, thereby changing the refractive index. When the external environment changes, the inherent optical path difference of the sensor is easy to change, leaving the linear working point, resulting in test distortion. However, the existing working point control scheme mainly improves the working point stability by improving the process structure and optimizing the physical properties. Actual power transmission and distribution lines in power grids are characterized by unstable, uncertain, and complex environments. Various scenarios, such as ferroresonance, load shedding, line reclosing, short-circuit faults, lightning strikes, and gas-insulated substation failures, can easily generate high-frequency transient signals, leading to temperature rise, stress changes, and strong light exposure. Therefore, integrated optical electric field sensors urgently need a linear operating point control technology that is resistant to environmental interference, highly precise, and highly stable. This technology can effectively automatically control the operating point of optical electric field sensors in complex line environments, achieve real-time distributed signal sensing at key nodes, and ensure the safe and transparent operation of smart grids.

[0078] When the operating point of the sensor is in a nonlinear operating area due to environmental changes, the phase in the sensor will also shift. In order to compensate for the inherent phase shift of the sensor caused by environmental changes and realize the operating point control of the optical electric field sensor, this application provides the following sensor operating point control system.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the sensor operating point control system 1000 includes a laser 100, a sensor 200, a signal conversion module 300 and a data processing module 400, wherein:

[0080] The laser 100 is configured to emit light wave signals at multiple scanning frequencies when the operating point of the sensor 200 is in a nonlinear operating region, wherein the scanning frequencies are all within a target scanning frequency range;

[0081] The sensor 200 is configured to perform electric field modulation on light wave signals at multiple scanning frequencies, update pre-acquired phase information based on each light wave signal after electric field modulation, and generate a light intensity signal at each scanning frequency based on each updated phase information, wherein the pre-acquired phase information is phase information of a drift in the sensor 200 when the operating point of the sensor 200 is in a nonlinear operating region;

[0082] A signal conversion module 300 is used to convert the light intensity signal at each scanning frequency into an electrical feedback signal;

[0083] The data processing module 400 is used to iteratively detect the target operating frequency of the light wave signal emitted by the laser 100 based on the electrical feedback signal at each scanning frequency, and control the operating point of the sensor 200 to be in the linear operating area based on the target operating frequency.

[0084] Specifically, the operating point control system 1000 of the sensor 200 of the present application includes a laser 100, a sensor 200, a signal conversion module 300, and a data processing module 400. The sensor 200 is generally an asymmetric MZI (Mach–Zehnder interferometer) electric field sensor.

[0085] The laser 100 can use a tunable laser. The laser 100 emits a broad spectrum light source with a wavelength range of 1500nm to 1600nm, and transmits multiple light wave signals to the MZI electric field sensor 200 through a polarization-maintaining optical fiber, wherein the light wave signal is z-polarized light. The laser 100 module uses an RS232 interface to communicate with an MCU (Microcontroller Unit), and its output light wavelength and frequency can be tuned under the control of the MCU. Furthermore, the light wave signals emitted by the laser 100 are a group of light wave signals within the target scanning frequency range. The scanning frequencies corresponding to each light wave signal may be different, but they are all within the target scanning frequency range. For example, a group of light wave signals are all light wave signals set according to a preset frequency interval.

[0086] The electric field measurement module is an optical electric field sensor 200 based on an asymmetric MZI structure. It utilizes the electro-optical effect of a lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystal. When the external electric field changes, the refractive index of the lithium niobate crystal is modulated by the electric field, causing the phase of the optical signal to change. This change in optical signal is then measured to infer the change in electric field intensity. Specifically, the sensor 200 performs electric field modulation on lightwave signals at multiple scanning frequencies. Based on each modulated lightwave signal, it updates pre-acquired phase information and generates a light intensity signal at each scanning frequency based on each updated phase information. The light intensity signal generated by the sensor 200 for each scanning frequency is sent to the signal conversion module 300.

[0087] The signal conversion module 300 converts the light intensity signal at each scanning frequency into an electrical feedback signal through a series of signal conversion processes of the light intensity signal, such as photoelectric conversion and digital-to-analog conversion, and sends each electrical feedback signal to the data processing module 400.

[0088] The digital processing circuitry includes a single-chip microcomputer reset circuit and a program download and debugging circuit. This single-chip microcomputer reset circuit is used for embedded control. By implementing a frequency-sweep output for the laser 100 module and employing an iterative method based on the electrical feedback signal at each sweep frequency, it detects the optimal operating frequency of the laser 100's emitted lightwave signal, thereby controlling the operating point of the electric field sensor 200.

[0089] The operating point control device for the sensor includes a laser 100, a sensor 200, a signal conversion module 300, and a data processing module 400. When the operating point of the sensor 200 is in a nonlinear operating region, the laser 100 transmits light wave signals at multiple scanning frequencies to the sensor 200, wherein the scanning frequencies are all within a target scanning frequency range. The sensor 200 performs electric field modulation on the light wave signals at the multiple scanning frequencies. Based on the light wave signals after the electric field modulation, the sensor 200 compensates for phase information that drifts in the sensor 200 when the operating point of the sensor 200 is in the nonlinear operating region. Based on the updated phase information, a light intensity signal at each scanning frequency is generated. The signal conversion module 300 converts the light intensity signal at each scanning frequency into an electrical feedback signal. Based on the electrical feedback signal at each scanning frequency, the data processing module 400 accurately determines the target operating frequency that places the operating point of the sensor 200 in the linear operating region through an iterative method. Then, based on the accurately compensated target operating frequency, the sensor 200 is controlled to remain in the linear operating region, thereby enabling the operating point of the sensor 200 to be accurately and automatically reset even when it deviates from the linear operating region.

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment, the data processing module 400 is further configured to:

[0091] Frequency scanning step: Based on the electrical feedback signal at each scanning frequency, the electrical feedback signal difference corresponding to multiple adjacent scanning frequency ranges is detected, wherein the adjacent scanning frequency range is the frequency range between two adjacent scanning frequencies within the target scanning frequency range; the target adjacent frequency range with the largest electrical feedback signal difference is screened out from all adjacent scanning frequency ranges, and the target adjacent frequency range is updated to the target scanning frequency range; when the target scanning frequency range is greater than or equal to the preset frequency range threshold, multiple newly generated scanning frequencies under the target scanning frequency range are obtained, and the frequency scanning step is returned until the target scanning frequency range is less than the preset frequency range threshold; based on the latest target scanning frequency range, the target operating frequency of the light wave signal emitted by the laser 100 is detected, and the laser 100 is controlled to emit the light wave signal of the target operating frequency to the sensor 200.

[0092] The adjacent scanning frequency range is a frequency range between two adjacent scanning frequencies within the target scanning frequency range.

[0093] Specifically, there are multiple scanning frequencies within the target scanning frequency range, each scanning frequency has a certain frequency interval, and the frequency intervals between different scanning frequencies may be the same or different. All adjacent scanning frequency ranges are obtained from the target scanning frequency range.

[0094] Based on the electrical feedback signal at each scanning frequency, the electrical feedback signal differences corresponding to multiple adjacent scanning frequency ranges are detected. For example, when the adjacent scanning frequency range is (f1, f2), the electrical feedback signal E1 corresponding to the minimum scanning frequency f1 of the adjacent scanning frequency range and the electrical feedback signal E2 corresponding to the maximum scanning frequency f2 of the adjacent scanning frequency range are obtained. Based on the difference between the electrical feedback signal E2 and the electrical feedback signal E1, the electrical feedback signal difference corresponding to the adjacent scanning frequency range is obtained.

[0095] Based on the electrical feedback signal differences corresponding to all adjacent scanning frequency ranges, a target adjacent scanning frequency range corresponding to the maximum electrical feedback signal difference is detected. The target adjacent scanning frequency range is then used as a new target scanning frequency range to determine whether the target scanning frequency range is greater than or equal to a preset frequency range threshold. If the target scanning frequency range is greater than or equal to the preset frequency range threshold, multiple newly generated scanning frequencies within the target scanning frequency range are obtained, and the frequency scanning step is returned to repeat the process of detecting the electrical feedback signal differences corresponding to multiple adjacent scanning frequency ranges based on the electrical feedback signal at each scanning frequency until the target scanning frequency range is less than the preset frequency range threshold in a certain cycle.

[0096] The target scanning frequency range that is less than the preset frequency range threshold at this time is taken as the latest target scanning frequency range, and based on the latest target scanning frequency range, the target operating frequency of the light wave signal emitted by the laser 100 is detected.

[0097] For example, the initial sweep wavelength range is set to 1500nm to 1600nm, and the target sweep frequency range is 187.5GHz to 200GHz. Select the frequency interval as A set of m frequencies , output and record the corresponding frequency of sensor 200 Output electrical feedback signal , calculate the difference in electrical feedback signals between adjacent frequency ranges . Compare and get the maximum electrical feedback signal difference ,right Frequency range Then perform frequency sweep sampling.

[0098] Select the frequency interval as A set of m frequencies , output and record the sensor 200 corresponding to the selected frequency again Output electrical feedback signal , calculate the difference in electrical feedback signals between adjacent frequency ranges And compare to get the maximum electrical feedback signal difference ,right Frequency range Again, select the frequency interval as A set of m frequencies.

[0099] Repeat the above steps until , record the frequency range at this time and corresponding telecommunications , take the average value of the electrical signal Corresponding frequency is the operating frequency , the frequency The frequency that can provide linear operating point corresponds to the wavelength This is the wavelength that can provide a linear operating point.

[0100] In the above embodiment, by proposing a scheme of controlling the laser 100 to output a light wave signal through an iterative frequency sweep method so that the operating point of the sensor 200 is in the linear working area, automatic tuning control can be achieved in an electric field measurement environment, ensuring that the sensor 200 has an automatic reset function when it deviates from the linear working point, and providing a solution for the optical electric field sensor 200 to solve the problem of unstable and uncontrollable linear working point.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, the data processing module 400 is further configured to:

[0102] Obtain the latest electrical feedback signal difference corresponding to each scanning frequency in the latest target scanning frequency range; determine the minimum electrical feedback signal and the maximum electrical feedback signal from the latest electrical feedback signal difference, and detect the average electrical feedback signal between the minimum electrical feedback signal and the maximum electrical feedback signal; determine the target scanning frequency corresponding to the average electrical feedback signal, and use the target scanning frequency as the target operating frequency of the light wave signal emitted by the laser 100.

[0103] Specifically, based on the latest target scanning frequency range, the target operating frequency of the light wave signal emitted by the laser 100 is detected. Since the latest target scanning frequency range is a range value, in order to determine the optimal operating frequency from the range value, the method adopted in this application is to obtain the latest electrical feedback signal difference corresponding to each scanning frequency in the latest target scanning frequency range, and then determine the minimum electrical feedback signal and the maximum electrical feedback signal from the latest electrical feedback signal difference.

[0104] An average value is calculated for the minimum electrical feedback signal and the maximum electrical feedback signal, and the average value is used as the average electrical feedback signal of the light wave signal emitted by the laser 100. A scanning frequency corresponding to the average electrical feedback signal is determined, and the scanning frequency is used as the target operating frequency of the light wave signal emitted by the laser 100. When the laser 100 emits a light wave signal at the target operating frequency, the operating point of the sensor 200 is in the linear operating area.

[0105] For example, let the latest target scanning frequency range be , the target scanning frequency range corresponds to the electrical feedback signal range of , take the average electrical feedback signal within the electrical feedback signal range The corresponding frequency is The target operating frequency of the laser 100 for emitting light wave signals The target operating frequency In order to provide a linear operating point frequency, the data processing module 400 controls the output frequency of the tunable laser 100 to be The polarized light is controlled to control the electric field sensor 200 to operate in the static working area.

[0106] In the above embodiment, by obtaining the electrical feedback signal differences corresponding to each scanning frequency in the latest target scanning frequency range, the average electrical feedback signal between the minimum electrical feedback signal and the maximum electrical feedback signal can be used as the electrical feedback signal corresponding to the optimal scanning frequency. At this time, the laser 100 emits a light wave signal at the optimal scanning frequency to accurately control the sensor 200 to operate in the static working area.

[0107] In an exemplary embodiment, the data processing module 400 is further configured to:

[0108] Detecting the target operating wavelength corresponding to the target operating frequency; and determining that the sensor 200 is at a linear operating point while controlling the laser 100 to transmit a light wave signal of the target operating frequency and the target operating wavelength to the sensor 200.

[0109] Specifically, the data processing module 400 can not only detect the target operating frequency of the light wave signal emitted by the laser 100, but also detect the target operating wavelength corresponding to the target operating frequency. By detecting the target operating wavelength corresponding to the target operating frequency, the laser 100 transmits the light wave signal corresponding to the target operating frequency and the target operating wavelength to the sensor 200, thereby making the operating point of the sensor 200 in the linear working area, that is, the sensor 200 is at the linear working point.

[0110] Furthermore, the wavelength of the laser 100 and operating frequency of , where c is the speed of light. Therefore, by obtaining the target operating frequency and the speed of light, the target operating wavelength corresponding to the target operating frequency can be accurately detected.

[0111] In the above embodiment, by detecting the target operating wavelength corresponding to the target operating frequency, the laser 100 can be controlled to transmit a light wave signal of the target operating frequency and the target operating wavelength to the sensor 200 to accurately control the operating point of the sensor 200.

[0112] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the sensor 200 is placed in an external electric field, and the sensor 200 includes:

[0113] Antenna 210, for applying the electric field voltage of the electric field to electrode 220;

[0114] The electrode 220 is used to generate a target electric field according to the electric field voltage and apply the target electric field to the first waveguide arm 230;

[0115] The first waveguide arm 230 is configured to perform electric field modulation on the lightwave signal at each scanning frequency based on the target electric field when transmitting lightwave signals at multiple scanning frequencies, thereby generating multiple electric field modulated lightwave signals;

[0116] The second waveguide arm 240 is used to transmit optical wave signals at multiple scanning frequencies;

[0117] The output terminal 250 is used to detect the phase difference between the light wave signal at each scanning frequency and the light wave signal after electric field modulation, and use the phase difference as updated phase information.

[0118] Specifically, a schematic diagram of the surface of an optical electric field sensor 200 is shown, wherein the sensor 200 mainly comprises a waveguide arm, an electrode 220 , an antenna 210 and an output end 250 .

[0119] This application uses an x-cut, y-transmitting lithium niobate crystal. The z+ surface constructs two optical waveguide arms with an inherent phase difference based on the proton exchange method. The polarized light is modulated by the electric field when passing through the waveguide arm. It should be explained that the X crystal axis is perpendicular to the wafer surface, so it is "X-cut". If the angle φ between the z axis and the Y axis is 0°, the waveguide propagates along the Y axis, which is called "Y-transmitting". Together, it is "X-cut, Y-transmitting".

[0120] Antenna 210 is typically a dipole antenna, and electrode 220 is typically a metal electrode. The function of the dipole antenna is to apply an electric field in the form of a voltage to the metal electrode 220. This generates an electric field between the metal electrodes 220 and applies it to one of the waveguide arms. Because there are two waveguide arms, one with an electric field applied and the other without, a phase difference occurs between the lightwave signals transmitted through the two waveguide arms. This phase difference carries information about the electric field frequency, and when the lightwave signals converge and interfere at the waveguide output end 250, the phase difference is converted into light intensity information.

[0121] Taking the electrode 220 applying a target electric field to the first waveguide arm 230 as an example, when transmitting light wave signals at multiple scanning frequencies, the first waveguide arm 230 performs electric field modulation on the light wave signal at each scanning frequency based on the target electric field to generate multiple light wave signals after electric field modulation. The second waveguide arm 240 directly transmits light wave signals at multiple scanning frequencies. At the output end 250, the light wave signal at each scanning frequency converges and interferes with the light wave signal after electric field modulation. Based on the phase difference between the two signals, the phase information of the drift in the sensor 200 when the operating point of the sensor 200 is in the nonlinear working area is updated. Then, for each scanning frequency, the phase difference between the two signals is converted into a light intensity signal.

[0122] In the above embodiment, by setting up two waveguide arms and applying an electric field to one of the waveguide arms to perform electric field modulation on the light wave signal transmitted therein, the light wave signal at the same scanning frequency can produce a phase difference when transmitted between the two waveguide arms, and then based on the phase difference, the light intensity signal at each scanning frequency can be accurately generated.

[0123] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the signal conversion module 300 includes:

[0124] The photoelectric conversion unit 320 is used to convert the light intensity signal at each scanning frequency into an analog current signal;

[0125] The voltage-current conversion and amplification unit 340 is used to convert each analog current signal into an analog voltage signal and amplify the multiple analog voltage signals;

[0126] The digital-to-analog conversion unit 360 is configured to convert each amplified analog voltage signal into an electrical feedback signal.

[0127] Specifically, the signal conversion module 300 includes a photoelectric conversion unit 320 , a voltage-current conversion and amplification unit 340 340 , and a digital-to-analog conversion unit 360 .

[0128] Photoelectric conversion unit 320 is used to receive the light intensity signals at multiple scanning frequencies output by sensor 200 and perform photoelectric conversion on the light intensity signals. Photoelectric conversion unit 320 is generally a photodiode, such as an indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) photodiode. The InGaAs photodiode performs photoelectric conversion on output light with a wavelength in the range of 1500-1600nm, outputting a weak analog current signal at each scanning frequency. The analog current signal is then transmitted to voltage-to-current conversion and amplification unit 340.

[0129] The analog current signals at multiple scanning frequencies are converted by the voltage-to-current conversion amplifier unit 340 to generate analog voltage signals at each scanning frequency. The multiple analog voltage signals are then amplified and frequency-selected to a measurable range, enabling more accurate measurement of the analog voltage signals. Furthermore, each amplified analog voltage signal is output to the filtering unit 380, which can be a first-order low-pass filter. The filtering unit filters each amplified analog voltage signal and sends the filtered analog voltage signal to the digital-to-analog conversion unit 360.

[0130] Subsequently, the filtered analog voltage signal is digitally sampled and outputted through the digital-to-analog conversion unit 360 , and a feedback voltage signal is outputted to enter the data processing module 400 for processing and calculation.

[0131] In the above embodiment, by setting up three conversion modules, namely the photoelectric conversion unit 320, the voltage-current conversion and amplification unit 340, and the digital-to-analog conversion unit 360, the light intensity signal is converted from a light signal to an analog current signal, and then from the analog current signal to an analog voltage signal, and then the analog voltage is converted into an analog signal to obtain an electrical feedback signal. The amplification function in the voltage-current conversion and amplification unit 340 can also effectively amplify multiple analog voltage signals to avoid the weak analog voltage signal from being undetectable.

[0132] In an exemplary embodiment, the operating point control system of the sensor 200 further includes:

[0133] The coupler is used to proportionally decompose the light intensity signal at each scanning frequency and send a plurality of proportionally decomposed light intensity signals to the signal conversion module 300 .

[0134] Specifically, the coupler in this application is generally a 1:9 coupler, which is used to decompose the output light intensity signal transmitted via a single-mode optical fiber. The 1:9 coupler decomposes the output light signal into two parts, 10% and 90%. Among them, 90% of the light intensity is normally used to extract the electrical signal and reversely infer the electric field to be measured through the photoelectric detection module, and the remaining 10% of the light signal is used as a feedback signal to control the linear operating point of the sensor 200. This 10% of the light signal is input into the photoelectric conversion unit 320 and converted into an analog current signal.

[0135] In the above embodiment, a coupler is provided to proportionally decompose the light intensity signal at each scanning frequency, and a small amount of light intensity signal is used as a feedback signal, thereby reducing the workload and improving the operating point control efficiency of the sensor 200.

[0136] In an exemplary embodiment, the theoretical analysis of the operating point control of the sensor 200 is as follows:

[0137] First, the optical electric field sensor 200 uses the linear relationship between the output photocurrent and the electric field strength to accurately restore the electric field strength to be measured. Assume that the electric field strength to be measured input to the electric field sensor 200 is:

[0138]

[0139] When light waves pass through lithium niobate waveguides, they are modulated by the electric field, resulting in a phase difference Can be expressed as:

[0140]

[0141] in, is the electric field modulation phase difference, is the inherent phase difference of the sensor 200. is the half-wave electric field of sensor 200. The light waves in the two waveguide arms converge and interfere at the output end 250, converting the optical phase difference into a light intensity difference. The total optical field output by sensor 200 is:

[0142]

[0143] If and only if the inherent phase difference of sensor 200 or (m is an odd number), the total light field output by the sensor 200 is and the photoelectric flow after photoelectric conversion Bessel expansion can be performed:

[0144]

[0145] At this time, the photocurrent only contains the odd harmonic information of the electric field to be measured. Since δ<<1, the third and higher harmonic signals can be ignored. Therefore, the electrical signal after the photoelectric conversion of the photodetector can be rewritten as:

[0146]

[0147] The inherent phase difference is When the photocurrent signal and the electric field strength to be measured form a linear function relationship, the electric field strength can be detected linearly without distortion. At this time, the sensor 200 is said to be working at the linear point. The inherent phase difference However, the working point of the sensor 200 is easily affected by the external environment and drifts. Changes in temperature, stress, light and other conditions will cause the inherent phase difference of the sensor 200. Leave the move , thus affecting the test accuracy.

[0148] The present invention realizes the working point control of the integrated optical electric field sensor 200 through MCU iterative frequency modulation. First, the MZI of the electric field sensor 200 is designed to have an arm length difference of Due to the interference of external environmental variables and the inherent arm length difference of the MZI waveguide , the inherent phase difference of the optical waveguide itself becomes:

[0149]

[0150] The output light intensity expression of sensor 200 becomes:

[0151]

[0152] Where λ is the working wavelength of the sensor 200, is the effective refractive index of the optical waveguide, is the inherent arm length difference of the design. The phase difference variation caused by the change of the external environment is the unknown amount of drift of the working point of the sensor 200. By tuning the wavelength, the wavelength of the sensor 200 is changed. , compensating for the phase difference variation caused by environmental changes, so that the inherent optical phase difference of the electric field sensor 200 Meet the sensor 200 linear working point conditions (m is an odd number), the sensor 200 returns to the linear working condition. At this time, the working wavelength of the sensor 200 is , there is a linear relationship between the output electric field of the sensor 200 and the actual electric field to be measured.

[0153] Known laser wavelength 100 and operating frequency of , the output light intensity expression of sensor 200 becomes:

[0154]

[0155] Sensor 200 output optical power and frequency There is a cosine change relationship, as shown in Figure (b) - Curve, by controlling the laser frequency 100 The complete cosine curve can be scanned. The time domain output waveform of the sensor at different working points is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, Figure (a) is the waveform when the sensor works at the maximum point, Figure (b) is the waveform when the sensor works at the linear point, and Figure (c) is the waveform when the sensor works at the minimum point.

[0156] If and only if (m is an odd number), there is a linear following relationship between the measured voltage of the sensor 200 and the measured voltage. At this time, the inherent optical path difference expression of the sensor 200 is expressed as:

[0157]

[0158] From this we can get the wavelength Expressed as:

[0159]

[0160] Operating frequency Expressed as:

[0161]

[0162] At this time, the sensor 200 is working at the position in Figure (b), the light intensity change rate is the largest, and the corresponding frequency is the target operating frequency when the sensor 200 is working in the linear region. From the previous analysis, it is known that the output light intensity of the optical electric field sensor 200 has a cosine relationship with the frequency. The cosine function-based tuning method is used to control the operating frequency of the sensor 200 to be , compensating for the inherent phase drift of the optical electric field sensor 200 caused by environmental changes, and realizing the operating point control of the optical electric field sensor 200.
