For the detailed timing of each mode, see “Trigger mode” in “Timing chart” (P.4). · Internal mode · External edge mode · External level mode · External gate mode The gain can be set to a value between 1 and 6 with a 6-bit number ranging from 0 to 63. The preset gain is calculated by the following equation. The default gain is 1. 6 Gain= 1 + 5 63 - G 63 G: 6-bit value The offset can be set in the range of -255 to +255. The offset increment per step is approximately 1.2 mV. The offset is set by writing a 9-bit value to the C13015-01 internal register. If the most significant bit (MSB) of the 9-bit value is zero, the offset is positive. Otherwise, the offset is negative. The bit values other than the MSB are the magnitude of the offset. Note that because the offset circuit is arranged before the amplifier stage, the actual offset is equal to the offset value set above × gain. The sensor integration time is changed by changing the high period of the ST pulse. A maximum value exists for internal mode or external gate mode.
