According to IEC 60825-1:2014 Safety of laser products - Part 1:Equipment classification and requirements. The maximum output laser power of the product is 50.5uW. TOFSense series products comply with the Class 1 laser product standard specified in GB 7247.1-2012...
UART mode has two output modes: active output and query output. The two output modes can be switched by modifying the data output mode on NAssistant . Connect TOFSense series products to NAssistant through USB to TTL module (line sequence and power supply voltage reference datasheet). After successful recognition, click to enter the settings page.
CAN Output mode has two output modes: Active Output and Query Output. The two output modes can be switched by modifying the data output mode on NAssistant . Connect TOFSense series products to NAssistant through the USB to TTL module (line sequence and power supply voltage reference datasheet). After successful recognition, click to enter the settings page.
CAN Output Figure 3: Configuration Diagram For CAN Active Output Mode 3.2 Query Output CAN query output mode can be used in single module and cascading situations. Interface type is set to CAN, Data Output Method is set to INQUIRE, and CAN query output mode configuration is shown in Figure 4.
When the module is in UART mode (note that NAssistant cannot recognize modules in I/O mode), Connect TOFSense series products to NAssistant software through USB to TTL module (line sequence and power supply voltage reference data manual). After successful recognition, click to enter the settings page.

I/O Output Figure 6: I/O Mode Dual Threshold Setting After following the above settings, the distance value in this mode is converted into high and low level output through hysteresis comparison. Invert the I/O port level when the distance increases from small to large and exceeds the high threshold, or when it decreases from large to small and falls below the low threshold.
The Field Of View angle parameter represents the angle that the module can cover by emitting ranging light. As shown in the figure below, the FOV area of the TOFSense series products is a cone with a circular vertex on the bottom surface in the emission window. Taking a 27° field of view angle as an example, when facing a sufficiently large object under test, the diameter of the FOV coverage circle on the measured plane can be estimated using a trigonometric function to be R=L*tan27°...

The relationship between the farthest ranging distance and the field of view angle FOV in a certain TOFSense scene (indoor, white wall background) is shown in Figure 11. Users need to choose the appropriate field of view angle based on the actual scene.
Multiple sensors can be configured with different IDs and connected in series, and the ranging information of all sensors can be read through a single communication interface. The connection schematic is shown in Figure 12. TOFSense S only has one communication interface, so a converter is required for cascading.
Protocol Unpack 7.2 Composition 7.2.1 UART The default configuration of the serial port is: data bit 8 bit, stop bit 1 bit, no parity check, no flow control, default baud rate 921600bps. Each data frame containing distance under the UART interface consists of 16 bytes of hexadecimal numbers.

UART mode on the settings page and write the parameters into the module through the host computer. For TOFSense S, in CAN mode, you can use a USB-to-TTL module to connect to the host computer. Change the baud rate to 921600 and connect it to the corresponding port of the USB-to-TTL module.

Q11.What is the reason for not being able to query data in CAN query mode? First, make sure that the wire sequence between the CAN devices is correct. Secondly, the TOFSense series port does not contain a 120R matching resistor, so make sure that the resistance of the query device matches.
