# Configure LiDAR Processing Parameters

* Once intervals have been created, LiDAR sensor parameters need to be reviewed and adjusted to adhere to the project planning and data needs.  
* Within the Project window, click on the LiDAR sensor name under "[Lidars](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-desktop/user-interface/windows/project-management-window/lidars)", and then click the [wrench icon](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-desktop/user-interface/windows/project-management-window/lidars/ldr-x). 
* In the ["Processing" tab](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-desktop/user-interface/windows/project-management-window/lidars/ldr-x#processing) of the LiDAR sensor, filters can be used to ensure the point cloud is created to the specifications of the project.

* FOV and Range are the most commonly adjusted parameters:
  * **Field of View (FoV) -** Specifies the swath width in degrees (90 degrees is 45 degrees on either side of nadir).  
  * **Minimum and maximum range -** Adjust to eliminate noise near the sensor (from atmospheric returns and/or birds) with the minimum range and eliminating very distant, potentially less accurate points from the maximum range.  
  * **Returns to fuse** along with the allowable **Reflectance** and **Deviation** are also adjustable to enable full control of the sensor characteristics and the resulting point cloud.  
* After the intervals and sensor parameters have been adjusted to the users' specifications, a [cloud can be created](https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/lidarmill-desktop/post-processing/workflow-kk/create-a-cloud).
