LSMDSOX - FIFO Mode how to use it?
Hello,
we’re using the LSMDSOX to detect the shocks on external structures designed to monitor geological phenomena.
We would like to record the acceleration measurements taken immediately before and immediately after the shock into the FIFO buffer.
Ideally, we want the detected shock to be positioned in the “middle” of the 512-element FIFO. Unfortunately, we haven't yet determined the best way to configure the system to achieve this behaviour. We tried setting the sensor to Continuous Mode before entering low-power mode and switching to FIFO Mode upon shock detection - this work fine if the shock event occurs few seconds after low power mode is activated; however, it seems that this causes the FIFO to fill up completely if the wait time in low-power mode exceeds a few seconds.
We would also like to use the Watermark feature, but it is unclear whether the FIFO will consistently resume recording from the moment the shock was detected.
Could someone give any advice?
Thank you in advance,
Luca
