Pc-Check Windows Ambient Light Level Test Failure Information

Group Number 760X

Device Ambient Light

The Ambient Light sensor is a sensor used to detect the amount of light in the environment it operates in. This sensor is most commonly used for portable devices to adjust the screen brightness as required to make the most of the battery life.

Test Number 303

Ambient Light Level

This test will check the amount of light detected by the ambient light sensor of a system. The Operator is required to cover and uncover the ambient light sensor, where the test will read a significant amount of change of light within the specified time-out. The ambient light sensor is available in most tablet devices located on the front side or directly attached to the front facing camera. In folding systems the sensor might be located towards the bottom side.

Estimated Test Time Depends on the time-out parameter specified by the operator.

PARAM1: Time-out

Test time-out parameter for operator interaction.

PARAM2: Minimum luminous intensity level

Minimum luminous flux level in order to achieve the required test state.

ERRORCODES & TROUBLESHOOTING
