5.4 Power Button
When using a CAP12xx device, the Sensor Control window will display a Power Button section, shown
in
, for enabling a sensor to have a delay before registering a press. This allows systems to
force the user to press for an extended period to verify that a critical action was meant to be performed.
For example: if this is used to power on and off the application, setting a minimum press period with
these options minimizes the chance of a user accidentally pressing the sensor.
