6.1.1 Legacy Operation SPI Activity Sequence
The SPI activity sequence is given below for Legacy operation. SPI timing is discussed
in Section 4.4. The Return Byte is 9B
H
. Two (2) data bytes will be clocked out for a
Legacy measurement. The Command Byte is discussed below.

PS0-PS2: Period Select
Selects the number of sensor circuit oscillation cycles (cycle counts) to be counted
while simultaneously using the internal fixed reference clock to measure the time to
obtain this count.
