Data Sheet

If the target is too close the TeraRanger Evo sensor (below the minimum
distance), the associated distance value is replaced by the hexadecimal value
0x0000.
If the target is too far from the TeraRanger Evo sensor (above the maximum
distance), the associated distance value is replaced by the hexadecimal value
0xFFFF.
5.3 Operating modes
The current Tower Evo firmware provides three operating modes: (1) Simultaneous mode,
(2) Sequential mode and (3) Tower mode. The following table provides a description of the
functionality for each.

Tower mode
Enables crosstalk avoidance between sensors.
Especially well suited for the circular
configuration of Tower Evo. In Tower mode
sensors connected to Hub Evo simultaneously
measure distances from 4 sensors with a 90
degree angle between each. When Tower Evo,
4 sensors is used the highest possible update
rates are achieved.
Sequential
mode
(default)
Ensures that sensors connected to Hub Evo are
synchronized in a sequential manner
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8), receiving a single distance
measurement at a time. This helps to avoid any
cross-talk between sensors. Sequential mode
provides more freedom for the physical
placement of sensors but can result in a
decrease in overall measurement repetition
rates.
