To improve the manufacture testing flow, the gas gauge device allows certain features to be toggled on or off through AltManufacturerAccess() commands. For example, the CHG FET(), DSG FET(), Lifetime Data Collection(), Calibration(), and so on. Enabling only the feature under test can simplify the test flow in production by avoiding any feature interference. These toggling commands will only set the RAM data, meaning the conditions set by these commands will be cleared if a reset or seal is issued to the gauge. The ManufacturingStatus() keeps track of the status (enabled or disabled) of each feature.
The data flash Manufacturing Status provides the option to enable or disable individual features for normal operation. Upon a reset or a seal command, ManufacturingStatus() will be reloaded from Manufacturing Status. This also means if an update is made to ManufacturingStatus() to enable or disable a feature, the gauge will only take the new setting if a reset or seal command is sent.
