4.12 Status and Control Panel
The Status and Control section of the Main window shown in
displays the current Sensor
Status register value and the General Status register. It also provides control and display of the device
interrupt, power states, and advanced configuration options.
When the sensor's signal exceeds the threshold, the Sensor Status section will change the
corresponding square button to a dark square. Depending on configuration settings, indicators in the
General Status section may turn blue (or a lighter color, depending on the PC settings) when the
criteria for the indicator is met.
If the Auto Clear INT button on the Panel (see
Section 4.5, "Communications Status and Control
) is enabled (dark gray), the INT indicator, General Status section, and the Sensor Status section
are continuously
cleared. This allows the user to see only the current state of the device.
. If the Auto
Clear INT button is disabled (light gray), the user must manually clear interrupts by clicking the INT
indicator or the Auto Clear INT
button. This allows for a more realistic demonstration of the behavior
of the device's registers between host reads and writes of the INT bit.
