Figure 4: Samples in Multiplexer Cycle
The end of each multiplexer cycle is signaled to the MPU by the CE_BUSY interrupt. At the end of each multiplexer cycle,
status information, such as sag data and the digitized input signal, is available to the MPU.

Figure 5: Accumulation Interval
Figure 5 shows the accumulation interval resulting from PRE_SAMPS = 42 and SUM_CYCLES = 50, consisting of 2100 samples
of 397µs each (only one phase is shown) followed by the XFER_BUSY interrupt. The sampling in this example is applied to a
50Hz signal.
There is no correlation between the line signal frequency and the choice of PRE_SAMPS or SUM_CYCLES (even though when
SUM_CYCLES = 42 one set of SUM_CYCLES happens to sample a period of 16.6ms). Furthermore, sampling does not have to
start when the line voltage crosses the zero line.
Delay Compensation
When measuring the energy of a phase (i.e., Wh and VARh) in a service, the voltage and current for that phase must be
sampled at the same instant. Otherwise, the phase difference, Ф, introduces errors.
