7.4 Worst-Case Response Time (ms)

The worst-case response time is calculated when the sensor is touched after its measurement, as shown in Figure 7-4. The response times obtained are provided in the following tables.

The minimum and maximum values are calculated using the best- and worst-case response time formulas, respectively. These values are calculated for a condition when all three buttons are enabled and a single button is touched.
