    Figure 5-4. Temperature Limits Tab 5.2.3 Configuration Register Tab The TMP451EVM software contains a tab for the configuration register, consecutive alert register, and status register. Changing values in this register automatically writes them. In the Configuration register the bit MASK1 masks the ALERT pin when enabled. R/S stands for RUN/STOP, when enabled this sets the TMP451 to standby.
