3.4.1 Measurement Period

The measurement period is the combination of measurement time and sleep time.

Measurement time is the total time required to acquire (including oversampling) and process touch signals of all active buttons. Sleep time occurs between the measurements. The measurement period can be configured up to 250 milliseconds (ms).

To clarify, note that buttons 0 and 8 are low-power buttons (meaning buttons configured to be scanned in low-power mode).

  2. Low-Power Measurement Period value for Buttons can be updated by writing in the Low-Power Measurement Period (LPMP) register.
