interface. Different interfaces can be switched by commands.
2.2 Principle of Distance Measurement
TFmini Plus is based on TOF, namely, Time of Flight principle. To be specific, the product emits modulation
wave of near infrared ray on a periodic basis, which will be reflected after contacting object. The product
obtains the time of flight by measuring round-trip phase difference and then calculates relative range
between the product and the detection object, as shown in Figure1.
