28041 PING Laser sensor

Hi,
I am using the PING Laser sensor 28041 on a BS2 and am having some odd fluctuation in the time signal returned. It varies from 1181 to 1404 (approximately) with a static setup, no movement. Do I need to do averaging of a number of data points to get a stable response (would this be accurate, I doubt it) or is there something else I should be doing to get a stable signal? The Ping ultrasonic sensor returns a rock solid signal using the standard Parallax Ping Test program (copy below), same program is used for both sensors.
Thanks for looking at this,
Bob
