“Register Setup” tab

The Register Setup tab shown in Figure 11 allows read/write access to the content of the

registers embedded in the LIS302DL MEMS sensor mounted on the evaluation kit. The tab

is divided into five sections:

●

“General” (ref 1) - Provides access to the registers which control the main settings of

the device. This section contains the control registers (CTRL_REG1, CTRL_REG2 and

CTRL_REG3) and the registers that control the generation of inertial interrupt signals.

It is possible to read and write the contents of each register. To restore the default value

for a given register, press the “Default” button.

●

“All Registers” (ref 2) - Permits the user to read, write and recall the default content for

all the registers shown in ref 1 with a single click on the read/write/default button.

●

“Direct Communication” (ref 3) - Provides access to any register in the device. To read

a generic register, insert the address in the “Register Address” textbox, then click on

the “Read” button. The retrieved content of the register will be displayed in the

“Register Value” field. As with writing to a register, the user must specify the address

and the data to be written inside the fields marked “Register Address” and “Register

Value”, respectively, and then press the “Write” button.

●

“Load/Save Configuration” (ref 4) - Lets the user save/load a specific configuration

to/from a file.

●

“Parameters” (ref 5) - Allows the user to save the register configuration to a text file,

which includes a detailed description of the resulting configuration for each register.
