How comparator mode works
Three methods
Comparator mode provides three methods of comparing a measured analog value
with a specified analog value:
•
Comparator 1: As in normal mode, measuring at the parameterized inputs. Si-
multaneous comparison of the comparator input with a comparison value: when
a comparison value is reached, a hardware interrupt is generated and the spe-
cified analog values are output.
With Comparator 1, the analog inputs can be accessed using peripheral input
words.
•
Comparator 2: Measuring only at the comparator input. When the comparison
value is reached, a process interrupt is generated and specified analog values
are output.
With Comparator 2, the comparator input value cannot be accessed.
•
Connection of Comparator 1 to Comparator 2 in series.
Comparator 1 does not generate a hardware interrupt and does not output any
analog values, but switches to Comparator 2.
