Keeping the module in automatic light source power mode (default setting) ensures
it adapts to varying environments. Close range objects may reflect so much light
they can saturate the module, reducing the quality of the measurements. This mode
will adapt the light output within the change delay setting to reach the optimal
amplitude. On the other hand, low amplitudes provide lower accuracy and precision.
The automatic light source power mode will select a light source intensity that
provides the highest intensity that avoids the saturation condition.
NOTE: When a strongly reflective or near object is present in the field of view while
monitoring farther distances, the automatic adjustment will reduce the
effective range of the module (reduce light source intensity) and may
prevent detection of long range or low reflectivity objects. For these
applications, manual mode with light source power set to 100% may be a
better setting.
