Sensor Application Configuration
Note : Care must be taken to avoid stranding the Sensor during reconfiguration. If all Sensor
transducers are disabled, the Sensor cannot be reconfigured.
3.4.1 Periodic Tx Configuration
All periodic transducer reporting is synchronized around ‘ticks’. A tick is simply a user
configurable time-base that is used to schedule transducer measurements. For each transducer,
the number of elapsed
ticks before transmitting can be defined.
Note: Certain transducer types, such as accelerometer and light, need to be enabled for
periodic reporting. Details are available in each transducer’s respective section. Table 3-3 shows
a list of registers used to configure the Sensor’s periodic transmissions.

Address Access Value Size
[bytes] Description
0x20 R/W Seconds per tick 4 Sets the tick for periodic events. A value of 0
disables all periodic transmissions.
0x21 R/W Ticks per Battery
Tx
2 Ticks between Battery reports. A value of 0
disables periodic battery reports.
0x22 R/W Ticks per
Temperature Tx
2 Ticks between Temp reports. A value of 0
disables periodic Temp reports.
0x23 R/W Ticks per RH Tx 2 Ticks between Humidity reports. A value of 0
disables periodic Humidity reports.
0x24 R/W Ticks per Digital
Input Tx
2 Ticks between Digital Input reports. A value of
0 disables periodic Digital Input reports.
0x25 R/W Ticks per Light Tx 2 Ticks between Light reports. A value of 0
disables periodic Light reports.
0x26 R/W Ticks per
Accelerometer Tx
2 Ticks between Accelerometer reports. A value
of 0 disables periodic Accelerometer reports.
0x27 R/W Ticks per MCU
Temp Tx
2 Ticks between MCU Temp reports. A value of
0 disables periodic MCU Temp reports.
0x28 R/W Ticks per PIR Tx 2 Ticks between PIR reports. A value of 0
disables periodic PIR reports.
