1.2.2 Status and Output Data

While different target hardware requires that the configuration structure for sensor nodes varies from one device to another, all acquisition modules conform to a standard sensor node data structure. Processed module output data are stored in this data structure during run-time.

The outputs/status information may be used by other post-processing modules or by the application.


Parameter	Size	Range/Options	Usage
`node_acq_status`	1 byte	Bit 7	Indicates node calibration error `NODE_CAL_ERROR`
		Bit 6	Rise Time calibration complete
		Bit 5	-
		Bit <4:2> (three bits) Node calibration state `NODE_MEASURE` `NODE_CC_CAL` `NODE_PRSC_CAL` `NODE_RSEL_CAL` `NODE_CSD_CAL`	Indicates whether a calibration is ongoing and its current stage
		Calibration Request	Write to ‘`1`’ to trigger calibration sequence on this node. (Reset to ‘`0`’ by module once actioned.)
		Enabled	Write to ‘`1`’ to enable this node for measurement
`node_acq_signals`	2 bytes	Most recent measurement for this sensor node.	16-bit unsigned value Accumulated and scaled as per `node_oversampling` and `node_gain_digital` settings.
`node_comp_caps`	2 bytes	Hardware calibration data	Indicates the tuning of the compensation circuit for this node
