[oopic] Sharp GP2D12

Hello All (newbie question)
I'd like to ask two things.
1)Is the diagram on http://www.oopic.com/gp2d12.htm wrong? The
datasheet in the sensors & detectors folder in the files section have
the pinout different to that on the oopic site (as well as the wiring
colours). If I look at mine face-on, from left to right the wiring is
yellow/black/red for Vo/GND/Voc but the website suggests GND/Voc/Vc.
So you see, I'm having trouble figuring out if it even works.
2)Also, does someone have a code snippet (or a known working diagram)
I could borrow to test it? I'm not entirely sure what to read from
the IO line. What does IR.Value produce? So far all I can get out of
it is an integer value of 46. I'm using B.1.0 firmware. How can a
digital IOline read fluctuating voltages? Is it converted to varying
pulses? The code I'm using is below:

'Turns on a RED LED - fishing for a value out of the IR
Sub main()
Red.IOLine = 1
IR.IOLine = 3
Red.Value = 0
ooPIC.ExtVRef=0
IR.Operate=cvTrue
X = IR.Value
If X = 46 Then 'discovered this value by trial and error
Red.TurnOn
End If
Delay = 1000
Red.TurnOff
End Sub
