Range error codes

Before using a measurement returned with a range API function, the application must first

check that the function call has succeeded (returned 0) and then check the

Range.errorStatus for possible error codes.



Table 8 gives a summary of the error codes. Calling VL6180x_RangeGetStatusErrString()

will also return the error code/description.
