6 Summary

This application note provides a clear explanation on the TOF calculation method. When there are any error results coming from the USS library, users can modify the parameters to avoid error results with a better understanding of the calculation process.

This document helps beginners to start with the USS design from both the hardware side and software side. This application note guides users to build up a meter.
