The graphs in Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5 express the distance in terms of displacement from the trigger resting point. The 0 mm value in the graphs corresponds to a distance of 17.4 mm between the magnet to the DRV5056 sensing element and 10 mm corresponds to a distance of 7.4 mm. Also, note that the system does not turn ON until the trigger is pressed 0.4 mm. As a result, the DRV5056 does not translate the sensed magnetic flux density into voltage until 0.4 mm.
Without doing calibration, the worst observed error between the measured voltage and the simulated voltage is –2.6%.
