The ADS1x15 device also contains an internal comparator. The threshold limits for the comparator are set using
the 

HiThresh

 and 

LoThresh

 registers.

5.2.3.1 Register Read and Write Options

At the top and right side of the 

Register Map

 window (as shown in 

Figure 5-23

) are controls for reading and

writing the registers. The startup default control values are to 

Immediately Write

 the 

Config

 register when options

change. The 

Auto Read

 register function is turned off.

Figure 5-23. Register Read and Write Controls

5.2.3.1.1 Read Register Options

The default GUI configuration is to have the 

Auto Read

 functionality turned off and instead manually read the

registers using the 

READ REGISTER

 and 

READ ALL REGISTERS

 buttons. The 

READ REGISTER

 button reads

only the selected register. The 

READ ALL REGISTERS

 button reads all registers available for the ADS1x15

device. The advantage of manually reading the register contents is a reduction in USB communication between
the ADS1x15EVM and the GUI.

The registers can be read automatically from the ADS1x15 at a variety of intervals from once a second to as fast
as possible. The 

Auto Read

 drop-down menu selection (

Figure 5-24

) shows these intervals, which can each be

selected based on the application needs. The 

READ REGISTER

 and 

READ ALL REGISTER

 button options are

only enabled when the 

Auto Read

 selection is turned 

off
