Functional Description
The source lists baud-rate modification as a serial-interface function.
Single ranging measures the target once. For a low-reflectivity target, the source says the module repeats measurements until stable distance data is obtained and reports it through the serial interface.
Repeated-ranging mode performs continuous distance measurement. The functional section states a typical configurable 2 Hz refresh rate and a maximum of 15 Hz; the formal frequency row separately retains both 2–15 Hz and 4–15 Hz alternatives.

Pulsed Time-of-Flight Engineering Context
The public SPD1200N0 source used here does not state the internal timing architecture. The equation below describes pulsed time-of-flight ranging generally and is not presented as an additional SPD1200N0 specification.
Real performance also depends on target reflectivity and area, incidence angle, atmospheric attenuation, receiver aperture, background light, detector response, timing thresholds and contamination of the optical path.

Source-stated application context
Application labels indicate where the source proposes evaluation; they do not prove fitness without system testing.
- Auxiliary ranging in handheld night-vision devices, thermal imagers, telescopes and laser illuminators
- Civilian monitoring, aviation, communications, railway, law-enforcement, smart-water-conservancy and outdoor-sports ranging scenarios
Confirm before selection
- Define target size, reflectivity, incidence angle and required detection probability.
- Reproduce sunlight, visibility, weather and optical-window conditions in acceptance testing.
- Verify voltage tolerance, peak current, grounding, interface levels, baud rate and connector revision.
- Separate accuracy, repeatability and displayed resolution in host requirements.
- Confirm mounting datum, boresight, field of view, enclosure sealing and thermal path.
- Assess accessible emission and labeling again after integration into the finished equipment.
Questions to resolve before design release
Does the maximum stated range apply to every target?
No. Use the reflectivity and environmental conditions shown beside the range row. Smaller, darker, oblique or partially obscured targets and degraded visibility can reduce received signal.
Are resolution, repeatability and accuracy interchangeable?
No. Resolution is the reporting increment, repeatability describes variation under repeated conditions, and accuracy describes closeness to the reference distance under the stated test method.
Is the finished product automatically IEC Class I?
No. A module-level source statement does not replace the accessible-emission and failure-condition assessment of the finished equipment, its window, controls, service access and labeling.
Which documents control wiring and interface release?
The ordered connector drawing, pin definition and approved interface document control the design.
