8.4.11 Operation Mode

The operation mode and API/body brake feature is set by the MODE pin. They are selected by the resistor connected from MODE pin to GND. Mode pin sets the device to be stand-alone mode or stackable mode. In stand-alone mode, MODE pin sets the API on/off or trigger point sensitivity of API (1× stands for most sensitive and 4× stands for least sensitive). In stackable mode, the MODE pin sets the device as master or slave, as well as SYNC pin function (sync in or sync out) of the master device.
