5 Summary

To properly evaluate a light sensor for an application, a test platform must be used to validate performance. Evaluation can be done by building a standalone evaluation test that includes the material inspection, hardware design, and assembly of the test platform. The material must not have any scratches or heavy dust as to not damage the sensor. When designing the hardware, it is important to mount the light sensor on a dedicated board which can then be connected to the main board. This setup is used for evaluation in which functional tests are run to make sure the light sensors are running correctly. Tests can be performed using calibration equipment or TI's hardware platform. For more information on device setup and use, see also the specific device data sheet.
