Hello,

I am planning to use the non-contact turbidity sensor (SKU: SEN0554) with an Arduino, and I have some questions about the communication protocol, the resolution of the sensor, and its usage as a through-hole sensor. I would appreciate any clarification on the following points:
1- In the communication protocol, there are commands for reading "dirty data" and "AD data". Can you please explain the difference between these two types of data? Is the "dirty data" a processed or scaled version of the raw AD data?

2-

The provided code in the documentation reads the "dirty data" with an 8-bit resolution (0-255). Is it possible to obtain a higher resolution by reading and processing the raw AD data? If so, how should the two bytes of the AD value be combined and interpreted to obtain the final turbidity level?

3-Is it possible to increase the ADC resolution of the sensor itself, for example, to 12-bit, 14-bit, or 16-bit? If so, how can this be achieved, and how would the communication protocol be affected?

4-

Can this sensor be used as a through-hole sensor, with the probes in direct contact with the solution being tested? If so, are there any special precautions or considerations to be aware of when using it in this manner?

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your response.
