 If you change the integration time setting the sketch will change the delay for when it reads the sensor accordingly.  Changing the integration time will change the values you get on channels 0 and 1, but it shouldn't make a huge difference in the overall lux reading. That reading is based on the ratio of CH0 to CH1, as described on page 4 of the [APS9301 datasheet](https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/3/2/c/0/8/AV02-2315EN0.pdf).
 
-If you change the gain settings, you should also see a change in the CH0 and CH1 readings, but not the overall lux reading.

+The datasheet details the calculation of lux value based on the channel 0 and 1 levels, as follows (p. 4):
+
+| CH1/CH0| Sensor Lux Formula|
+|-----|-----|
+| 0 < CH1/CH0 ≤ 0.50 | Sensor Lux = (0.0304 x CH0) – (0.062 x CH0 x ((CH1/CH0)<sup>1.4</sup>))  |
+0.50 < CH1/CH0 ≤ 0.61 |  Sensor Lux = (0.0224 x CH0) – (0.031 x CH1)| 
+0.61 < CH1/CH0 ≤ 0.80 | Sensor Lux = (0.0128 x CH0) – (0.0153 x CH1)|
+0.80 < CH1/CH0 ≤ 1.30 | Sensor Lux = (0.00146 x CH0) – (0.00112 x CH1)|
+CH1/CH0>1.30| Sensor Lux = 0|
