ST VL53L3CX - Bare Driver Basic Functions Description; Bare Driver

3 Bare driver basic functions description
This section describes the driver functions calls flow that should be followed to perform a ranging measurement
using the VL53L3CX.
The VL53L3CX driver are used in two classes of applications:
• Factory applications used for device calibration, typically at end product manufacturing test (factory flow)
• Field applications, which gather all end-user applications using the VL53L3CX device (ranging flow)
