in DS of VL53L5CX->description: "Multizone distance measurements are possible up to 8x8 zones with a wide 65° diagonal FoV which can be reduced by software." i tried but did not find details how FoV can be reduced by software. please advice

[John E KVAM]

That statement is a little misleading. You are going to get an 8x8 structure of data with information on each zone. And the FoV is 45x45, making each zone about 5 degrees x 5 degrees. If you don't want the data in a particular area, just don't bother to look at it.

In my water level software I only look at the dozen or so zones in the center, the others not having much value.

Sorry for the confusion.

thank you for the answer.

>>You are going to get an 8x8 structure of data with information on each zone. And the FoV is 45x45, making each zone about 5 degrees x 5 degrees.

can i assume that 4x4 structure of data will give me about 11 degrees for each zone\?

[John E KVAM]

Exactly. And if you want the 4x4, you can run at 60Hz, which some applications want.
