The VL53L5CX sensor uses target status codes to provide information about the status of a target. These codes range from 0 to 13 and 255, as described in UM2884-Rev 3, chapter 5.5 Results interpretation, table 4. Each code provides a short description of the target status.
As per the previous discussion in the community forum, status 14 is a new feature introduced in the latest version of the firmware. It indicates that if the target separation is too close, the 2nd target could be a false target.
For the other target status codes, unfortunately, there isn't a more detailed explanation available in the public documentation. However, it's important to note that these codes are designed to provide a general idea of the status of a target, and may not always provide a complete picture of the situation. Therefore, it's recommended to use these codes as a guide, but also to rely on other information and observations to understand the full context.
For example, if you're seeing a high rate of non-ideal codes under real-world conditions, it could be due to a variety of factors such as environmental conditions, sensor configuration, or the nature of the targets themselves. It might be beneficial to experiment with different configurations or conditions to see if this improves the rate of ideal codes.
