One Shot
is available on the Temperature Chart tab. The One Shot button writes to the TMP116
configuration register with the one-shot in conversion mode. This setting initiates a temperature
conversion within the TMP116 device that updates the temperature result registers. After the one-shot
conversion finishes, the device goes into shutdown, and wait for the time based on the averaging bits
setting written in the configuration register.
Continuous
performs the temperature conversion continuously when the MOD[1:0] bits are configured in
the configuration register to 00. Each temperature conversion consists of an active conversion period
followed by a standby period based on the time of the conversion cycle and conversion averaging
configuration.
Alert high and low limit register
can be set by entering the value in °C or °F based on °C/°F control on
Main tab that stores the high and low limit for comparison with the temperature result.
