Description

0

Start

Read/Write

A one enables startup of monitoring operations, a zero puts the part in standby mode.

Note: The outputs of Interrupt pins will not be cleared if the user writes a zero to this

location after an interrupt has occurred unlike “INT_Clear” bit.

At start up, limit checking functions and scanning begin. Note, all limits should be set

in the Value RAM before setting this bit HIGH.
