by applying the method, the reliability of the corresponding relation between the laser module 4 to be detected and the light spot reference ring 11 is ensured through the positioning relation between the two groups of reference light sources 11 and the reference position limiting ring 21, so that the purposes of accurately measuring the light spot size and the light spot offset of the laser module 4 and providing a reliable basis for adjusting the light spot size and the offset are achieved, meanwhile, the positioning relation between the reference light sources 11 and the reference position limiting ring 21 can reflect whether the relative position change exists between the whole fixed tooling and the test board during debugging, and if the relative position change exists, the whole set of debugging and mounting system (the system refers to the whole assembling system of the radar transceiver module) needs to be subjected to omnibearing inspection; debugging operation is simplified, and meanwhile debugging efficiency and debugging accuracy can be improved;
