The sensor value changes from 900 to 30 as the object is moving closer to the sensor from a distance of 4mm. When the object is more than 4mm away, you may notice some change in sensor value as the object enters or leaves the sensor's field of view, but this value does not represent the actual distance to the object. The exact equation for the sensor is as follows:

			'''Distance (mm) = 1.3927e^(0.001967SensorValue) '''

			Where "SensorValue" is the 0-1000 value measured by the interfaceKit. If you're using a non-Phidgets interface, you can substitute SensorValue for Voltage*200.

	The IR sensor works just as well in both dim and well lit areas.		The IR sensor works just as well in both dim and well lit areas.

==Technical Details==

This sensor can detect the distance of an object at up to 4mm away. Objects with smooth, opaque surfaces are typically easier to detect.

The sensor value changes from 900 to 30 as the object is moving closer to the sensor from a distance of 4mm. When the object is more than 4mm away, you may notice some change in sensor value as the object enters or leaves the sensor's field of view, but this value does not represent the actual distance to the object.

The IR sensor works just as well in both dim and well lit areas.
