Note:

Only one data stream can be buffered at one time. There is no associated time stamp

information.

The clear buffer command is not immediate; it takes effect on the next range start

command.

The history buffer works independently of interrupt control i.e. the history buffer records all

new samples; its operation is unchanged in threshold and window modes.

Wrap Around Filter

Wrap-around is an effect linked to the ratio between the VCSEL pulse period and the photon

return pulse.

Figure 15. Wrap around

High reflective targets (like mirrors) placed at a far distance (>600mm) from the VL6180 can

still produce enough return signal for the VL6180 to declare a valid target and meet the

wrap-around condition resulting in a wrong (under-estimated) returned distance.

The WAF implemented in the API is able to automatically detect if a target is in the wrap-

around condition and filter it by returning an invalid distance (Range.errorStatus = 16). The

WAF is enabled/disabled via VL6180x_FilterSetState() and read with

VL6180x_FilterGetState().

Scaling

The default scaling factor is 3, which allows for maximum ranging capabilities. The scaling

factor can be decreased to x2 or x1 for short range applications.
