The TDSN5200E is a distance sensor equipped with the latest ToF element by STMicroelectronics, Inc. Although extremely compact, it can measure the distance to an object from 1cm up to 6m. Compared to ultrasonic distance sensors, it offers advantages such as smaller size, a narrower field of view (18°), and the ability to install a cover glass in front of the sensor.
Multiple devices can be controlled from a single PC, with the capability to connect dozens of devices using a USB hub. Simple control commands are provided for Windows and Linux, making it easy to integrate into applications. The utility software "TD-AppKit" allows for real-time graph drawing and data logging/output in CSV format (Windows only).
