The second operational mode keeps the LDC3114's baseline tracking algorithm enabled, but looks at each channels data instead of the digital output. All eight of the button channels can report data to the main MCU through the I2C. From there, the buttons can report the maximum response through the button LEDs. With a higher response in data, more LEDs will light up. If a force on a button surface continues to increase after all LEDs have been turned on, the maximum force will be recorded and used as a new baseline to compare against when illuminating the LEDs. This will reset to the default value when the operational mode changes.
