#Double Click on '''Phidget InterfaceKit 8/8/8''' in the Phidget Control Panel to bring up InterfaceKit-full and check that the box labelled Attached contains the word True.
# Make sure that the Ratiometric box is Ticked.
# Move an object in front of the sensor. The sensor value changes from 1000 to 0 as the object is moving closer to the sensor from a distance of 10cm. When the object is more than 10cm away, the value goes back to 1000.
# You can adjust the input sensitivity by moving the slider pointer.
# Click on the Sensors button to bring up the Advanced Sensor Form.

==Technical Details==

This sensor can detect the presence of an object at 10cm. This sensor does not rely on the reflective properties of the surface of the object.  The sensor cannot detect the presence of the object if it is emitting large amounts of light, such as a light bulb.

The sensor will not detect objects that are more than 10cm away, but will detect objects that are closer than 10cm. When an object is in the line of sight of the sensor at a distance of 10cm or closer, the sensor value will decrease from 1000 to 0.  Once the object leaves the line of sight, the value is restored to 1000.  

The IR sensor works just as well in both dim and well lit areas.
