Function Event

The Voltage-Only Measurement function generates a Function Event to the master whenever a conversion

cycle is completed and new data is stored in the Readout register. When the new data is stored into the Readout register the SF2

bit in the Device Status register is set to 1 and remains set, until it is cleared by reading the Readout register. An Attention Request

is generated on the bus, only if it is enabled by the Attention Enable bit (ATE) in the Control register.

Setup Before Enabling

No setup is required for the Voltage-Only Measurement function before it is enabled.

Resolution. This field defines the total number of significant bits in the Voltage Readout field in the Readout

register for this function. The voltage data is always aligned to the left in the Voltage Readout filed and is

extended with zeros.
