With the digital version you're limited by the sensor - it will only give you an edge when it's a specified distance away (see the datasheet).

To measure the distance of the object you need the analogue version and to use the Vo signal from that you need an ADC, which the DE2 board doesn't have. You would have to add an external ADC to that board or use another development board with an ADC.
