You probably mean the single and continouos ranging, right?

The datasheet provides quite detailed information:

Single ranging

Ranging is performed only once after the API function is called.

System returns to SW standby automatically.

Continuous ranging

Ranging is performed in a continuous way after the API function is called. As soon as the measurement is finished, another one is started without delay.

User has to stop the ranging to return to SW standby. The last measurement is completed before stopping.

Does it answer your question?
