When VL53L5CX Time-of-Flight sensor is in threshold detect mode, will it trigger only on what would be a Status 5 valid range measurement?

When VL53L5CX Time-of-Flight sensor is in threshold detect mode, will it trigger only on what would be a Status 5 valid distance? Thanks! -Doug

There are a few different statuses that are assumed to be 'good'.

They are:

·         5 – RANGE COMPLETE                ​

·         6 – RANGE COMPLETE_NO_WRAP_CHECK   ​

·         9 – RANGE COMPLETE MERGED PULSE    ​

·         12 – TARGET DUE TO BLUR  

6 only happens on the first range.

9 means there might be a couple of targets that are merged together

12 means the target might be do to a target in an adjacent zone.

But basically your are correct.
