4.13 Sensor Configuration Control Panel
The Sensor Configuration section shown in Figure 4.19, allows the user to adjust the configuration
registers for the sensors. These controls change the response of the sensors to suit the environment,
application, and desired response in the Fully Active and Standby states.
Figure 4.19 Sensor Configuration Control Panel
The Sensor Configuration section contains options for the Averaging and Sampling Configuration
Register (24h), which adjust the averaging and cycle time for sensor inputs that are active in the Fully
Active state. The Standby Tab controls affect the Standby Configuration Register (41h), which controls
averaging and cycle time for sensor inputs that are active in the Standby state.
Controls in the Sensor Configuration section affect the Sensor Configuration Register (22h). Repeat
rate settings determine whether one or more interrupts are sent per sensor activation and the duration
between interrupts. Maximum duration settings determine maximum time a sensor can be activated
before the sensor input is recalibrated.
The M Press control affects the Sensor Configuration 2 Register (23h). The M Press setting delineates
the time duration difference between a touch versus a press-and-hold event. If the press is longer than
the M Press time, it is considered a press-and-hold.
