Hello everyone out there,
I hope one of you can help me because I'm a bit confused about the additional information the sensor provides.
I need to measure the fill level of a salt container. I noticed that the measured values deviate by about 6 cm compared to a smooth surface. This seems to be because the light is scattered and reflected multiple times within the salt.
With the ST GUI (VL53L4CX Rev. 1.0.0.12289), when the additional information is enabled, I see a distance of 27 cm. The minimum is 25 cm and the maximum is 182 cm. However, the lower diagram shows a blue bar that ranges from 0 to approximately 107 cm. The signal strength is 18 Mcps.
Can someone explain to me how this information is determined?
Does the lower diagram represent the so-called histogram?
Why are the limits in the diagram not the same as the minimum and maximum?
I haven't really figured out how to use the histogram function yet. Perhaps that would help me correct the measured values.
