Additional functions of the API

Several additional functions of the API are used to manage some features of the STC3115.

These functions have to be called after the GasGauge_Initialization function.

If the STC3115 is configured by default in MIXED MODE, the device can be set up in

power-saving mode on the fly while the application is running. This saves energy when the

application is in low power periods. The following two API functions concern power-saving

mode.

int STC3115_SetPowerSavingMode(void)

* Function name: STC3115_SetPowerSavingMode

* Description: sets power-saving mode

* Input: none

* Return: error status (OK, !OK)

int STC3115_StopPowerSavingMode(void)

* Function name: STC3115_StopPowerSavingMode

* Description: stops power-saving mode

* Input: none

* Return: error status (OK, !OK)

The STC3115 provides an alarm pin which can be used to report the battery status to the

application. This alarm pin can be managed by the following API functions:

int STC3115_AlarmSet(void)

* Function name: STC3115_AlarmSet

* Description: sets the alarm function

* Input: none

* Return: error status (OK, !OK)

int STC3115_AlarmStop(void)

* Function name: STC3115_AlarmStop

* Description: stops the alarm function

* Input: none

* Return: error status (OK, !OK)
