Resolved! VL6180 vs VL6180X

I am interested to know the key differences between the VL6180 and VL6180X ToF sensors.I understand that the VL6180 has no ALS and also it appears to operate over a longer range.Is it as accurate in the 0-100mm range as the VL6180X?Thank you

VL53L1 can measure the target within 8 meters. However, the VL53L1_Gui(api rev 2432 6.6 build 1) showed "NOT VALID" even if the target stood at about 3 meters.

I was evaluating VL53L1 through X-NUCLEO-53L1A2.The GUI (api rev 2432 6.6 build 1) showed NOT VALID, but I checked the Data Log (.csv) and I found the "trueRange_cm" data was valid. I have a question, which data result is true, GUI or Data Log?Thanks...
