Transient
Settings
Default Transient
Settings
Returns the demo parameters for detecting shakes to the default settings (configured at the
factory).
Bypass HPF
HPF = High-Pass Filter
Sends the raw accelerometer data to the shake application, bypassing the high-pass filter.
• Normally, the Bypass HPF option button should be cleared.
• Enabling the Bypass HPF can cause non-shake events (such as tilting the device) to be
registered as shakes.
Threshold
Sets the threshold for flick events to be detected. Flicks at a smaller g-force than this value
are filtered out.
• Before using the Threshold slider, you must first click the Reset button.
• After using the Threshold slider, click the Set button to change the setting.
Debounce
Sets the amount of time that the configured conditions must be in place to trigger the main
flick event. Any event whose duration does not exceed this time will not trigger an interrupt.
• Before using the Debounce slider, you must first click the Reset button.
• After using the Debounce slider, click the Set button to change the setting.
• Enable X SP
• Enable Y SP
• Enable Z SP
(Enable Single Pulse)
Allows flicks along these axes to trigger the “Event Detected” Indicator on the Demo Screen.
Note:
Only the Y axis will move the pictures and correctly trigger the direction indicator.
If enabled, the X and Z axes will trigger only the Event Detected indicator on the
Demo screen.
Enable Latch
Causes any triggered event to remain until the Status register is read.
If the Enable Latch checkbox is not enabled, then:
• the interrupt will only last as long as the event
• the Status register will represent the most-recent event
Decrement
Debounce
Select to decrement the Debounce timer each time that an event fails to reach the debounce
time.
Clear Debounce
Select to reset the timer set by the Debounce slider each time that an event fails to reach
the debounce time.
Set
Saves the new configuration of the Threshold and Debounce sliders.
After changing the values of the Threshold and Debounce sliders,
click Set to implement the settings.
Reset
Enables a new configuration of the Threshold and Debounce sliders.
Before changing the settings of the Threshold and Debounce sliders,
click Reset.
