What is CNH?

What is CNH?

The IR signal measured in each zone is sent as raw data to the host through each bin of the histogram. The user can program the resolution of the VL53L7CH and the VL53L8CH up to 64 zones (8x8 zones), modify the histogram resolution up to 128 bins, and define the bin width. All the CNH data is transmitted to the host at up to 30 Hz, in addition to the standard processed data of the ToF sensor (ranging distance, signal level, reflectance, etc.).
