Configuring the Timing Register
The command, timing, and control registers are initialized to default values on power up. Setting these registers
to the desired values would be part of a normal initialization or setup procedure. In addition, to maximize the
performance of the device under various conditions, the integration time and gain may be changed often during
operation. The following pseudo code illustrates a procedure for setting up the timing register for various
options.
// Set up Timing Register
//Low Gain (1x), integration time of 12ms (default value)
Address = 0x39
Command = 0x81
//Timing Register
Data = 0x02
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
//Low Gain (1x), integration time of 101ms
Command = 0x81
//Timing Register
Data = 0x01
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
//Low Gain (1x), integration time of 12ms
Data = 0x00
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
//High Gain (16x), integration time of 101ms
Command = 0x81
//Timing Register
Data = 0x01
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
Command = 0x87
//Gain Control Register
Data = 0x20
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
//Read data registers (see Basic Operation example)
//Perform Manual Integration of 50 us
//Set up for manual integration
Command = 0x80
Data = 0x01
//Disable ADC_EN
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
Command = 0x81
Data = 0x10
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
//Set manual integration
//Enable ADC_EN and begin integration
//Wait for 50ms
Command = 0x80
Data = 0x03
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
//Integrate for 50ms
Sleep (50)
//Stop integrating
Command 0x80
Data = 0x01
//Disable ADC_EN and stop integration
WriteByte(Address, Command, Data)
//Read data registers (see Basic Operation example)
