Read of Measurement Result

Read the result of the measurement from the corresponding registers:

  • 0x00/0x01 for Measurement 1
  • 0x02/0x03 for Measurement 2
  • 0x04/0x05 for Measurement 3
  • 0x06/0x07 for Measurement 4
The measurement results span 2 register addresses; both registers must be read to have a complete conversion result. The lower address (for example, 0x00 for Measurement 1) must be read first, then the upper address read afterwards (for example, 0x01 for Measurement 1).

When the measurement read is complete, the corresponding DONE_x field (Register 0x0C:bits[3:0]) returns to 0.

If an additional single triggered measurement is desired, simply perform the Trigger, Wait, Read steps again.

If the FDC1004-Q1 is set up for repeated measurements (Register 0x0C:bit[8]) = 1), the FDC1004-Q1 continuously measures until the REPEAT field (Register 0x0C:bit[8]) is set to 0, even if the results are not read back.
