Hi,
I purchased the ADIS16220 sensors for a design project which requires using the Event Capture Mode and setting the DIO2 as an acceleration alarm indicator. These are the commands I am sending to the ADIS16220 sensors:
write_data[0]=0xA034; //set acceleration trigger point to > 1G
write_data[1]=0xA809; //set the system alarm to acceleration alarm
write_data[2]=0xB61F; //keep DIO1 as busy indicator and DIO2 as acceleration alarm indicator
write_data[3]=0x9C58; //set to event capture mode
write_data[4]=0xBF08; //start event capture mode
From these instructions I want the sensors to operate in Event Capture Mode and to capture data when the acceleration is triggered by an acceleration greater than 1 G. I set the DIO2 as an acceleration alarm indicator, so I can use it as an interrupt to trigger a timer. The DIO2 is set as active high.
However, I put an oscilloscope to the DIO2 pin to see if the acceleration alarm gets tripped but it always remains low. So to confirm, should the DIO2 be low when no data is being captured, and then go high (3.3 V) once the acceleration trigger point is tripped and data is captured?
I am unable to get the acceleration alarm indicator working, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
Raymond
