Offset Drift Monitoring
Cumulative offset drift is monitored during the normal
operation of the ADXL180. Offset drift monitoring occurs at
the same rate as auto-zero but runs independent of whether
auto-zero is enabled or disabled. An offset error is flagged if the
offset correction exceeds the maximum specified value. The
appropriate error code is sent in the next data frame transmitted
to the control module (see the Offset Error/Offset Drift
Monitoring section). This message is sent continuously until
power to the ADXL180 is removed. The error status clears on
the next power-on-reset.
