Passive cell balancing and DCP bit

Question

Hi, 
 Had a question regarding behavior of DCP bit during balancing. If balancing is in progress and interrupted by cell measurements, as per datasheet, balancing stops for same/adjacent cells. Does it resume automatically after ADC conversions? or again command has to be sent to reenable balancing? 
 BR.

When cell balancing is taking place and if DCP = 0 is sent, ADBMS cell monitor disable the discharge.
If it is interrupted by cell voltage measurement, ADC conversion is done, and measurements were taken
and then balancing resumes automatically. We don't need to send the command again for performing the discharge.
