Analog Outputs
The analog output (J2, pin 3) represents the position of the magnet along the long axis of the sensor board as seen in Figure 2 below. In the given example, the center of the magnet lies between sensors 3 and 4. The resulting output voltage is 1.20 volts which corresponds to a position of 33.4 mm.

Figure 2. Position sensing example.
An effort should be made to keep the angle of the magnet with respect to the sensor board reasonably constant along the length of travel. The sensor, however, is quite tolerant to changes in distance (gap) between the sensor and magnet along the length of travel.
Status Pin
Pin 2 (on port J2) is a TTL
1.The magnet is beyond the sensed range of the device.
2.The magnet is too short or too weak for the sensors to track.
3.The gap between the sensor and magnet is too large.
4.The magnet is not present.
