Each of the configurable, read and write bits has a drop-down menu to select the appropriate value. Each of the read-only status bits has an associated small, green indicator. As shown in Figure 14, two buttons are provided to operate register x01 because some of the bits have read and write capability. Note that in Figure 14, the Lux Full Scale Range selection field has four identical automatic range modes: 0x0C-0x0F. Also, the Mode selection field has two identical continuous sampling options: 0x02 and 0x03. Figure 14. Register x01 Control and Status Register Bits Registers x02 and x03 enforce low and high limits, respectively, on the output ranges (exponent) and values (mantissa) from the OPT3001. These registers are programmed with the appropriate fields, as shown in Figure 15. Change the values of the data in these fields to write and read the values from the OPT3001; no button press is required. However, if values are manually entered, exit the text field for the field to update. Figure 15. Registers x02 and x03 Lux Limit Controls There is a simulated screen backlight dimmer represented by a rectangle, shown in Figure 16. This rectangle changes from black, through 254 shades of grey, to white depending on the value of lux measured by the OPT3001. It shows a brighter backlight for high-lux situations and a dim backlight for low-lux situations. The low limit (darkest backlight) is always 0, and the high limit (brightest backlight) can be adjusted with the Lux for White numeric field. Figure 16.
