Tuning

The sensor does not store these values, so you should call the appropriate configuration methods after initializing the device in code

See Device API section for specific methods to change these values

Mode

• Selects the sensor’s ranging profile, balancing maximum distance, resistance to ambient light, and measurement robustness.

• Three options: Short, Medium, and Long

• Recommendation is long range mode for most applications. It provides long range ranging while still being able to measure short distances with minimal noise. If short range accuracy with even less noise is needed, medium range is recommended.

• Short range mode is not recommended. It is more difficult to tune and medium range mode can measure short distances accurately with far less tuning

• Default: Long

Timing Budget

• The amount of time (in microseconds) the sensor spends taking a single measurement

• Higher values -> More accurate, more stable readings

• Lower values -> Faster updates, but noisier results

• Default: 50,000 µs

Intermeasurement Period

• Time between consecutive measurements (in milliseconds).

• Controls update rate of the sensor

• Must be greater than or equal to the timing budget

• Default: 50ms

Timeout

• The amount of time (in microseconds) the sensor spends taking a single measurement.

• Does not improve accuracy

• Prevents code from waiting indefinitely if a reading fails

• Default: 100ms

Sigma Threshold

• Controls how much measurement noise is allowed before rejecting a reading.

• Lower Values -> Stricter (more accurate, more readings will be rejected)

• Higher Values -> More tolerant (Accepts noisier data)

• Default: 360

Minimum Signal Rate

• Minimum required signal strength for a measurement to be considered valid.

• Lower Values -> Accepts weaker signals (better long range)

• Higher Values -> Rejects weak/noisy readings

• Default: 0.05 MCPS (Mega counts per seconds)

Region of Interest (ROI) Width and Height

• Defines the active portion of the sensor's field of view.

• Smaller ROI -> narrower “beam”, less noise, more targeted detection

• Larger ROI -> wider detection area

• Range: 1-16

• 16x16 is full field of view

• Default is 16x16
