PulseFrequencyModulation(PFM)Output(PULS)
TheQ5Xcangeneratepulseswhosefrequencyareproportionaltothesensor'smeasureddistance,therebyprovidinga
methodforrepresentingananalogsignalwithonlyadiscretecounter.
The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from 100 Hz to 600 Hz (100 Hz equals the near range limit of the sensor, 600 Hz
equals the far sensing range limit). An output of 50 Hz represents a Loss of Signal (LOS) condition where there is no target or
the target is out of the sensor's range. There is a 2 second delay before the sensor sets the output to 50 Hz to indicate loss of
signal. During the 2 seconds, the output will hold the last PFM value. To find the Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Output,
setout2toPULS.
SyncMaster/Slave
TwoQ5Xsensorsmaybeusedtogetherinasinglesensingapplication.
To eliminate crosstalk between the two sensors, configure one sensor to be the master and one to be the slave. In this mode,
the sensors alternate taking measurements and the response speed doubles.
IMPORTANT: The master sensor and the slave sensor must be programmed for the same Response
Speed and Gain and Sensitivity settings. The master sensor and slave sensor must share a common
powersource.
