FIFO reading procedure

The data stored in FIFO are accessible from dedicated registers and each FIFO word is

composed of 7 bytes: one tag byte (FIFO_DATA_OUT_TAG (78h), in order to identify the

sensor, and 6 bytes of fixed data (FIFO_DATA_OUT registers from (79h) to (7Eh)).

The DIFF_FIFO_[9:0] field in the FIFO_STATUS1 (3Ah) and FIFO_STATUS2 (3Bh)

registers contains the number of words (1 byte TAG + 6 bytes DATA) collected in FIFO.

In addition, it is possible to configure a counter of the batch events of accelerometer or

gyroscope sensors. The flag COUNTER_BDR_IA in FIFO_STATUS2 (3Bh) alerts that the

counter has reached a selectable threshold (CNT_BDR_TH_[9:0] field in

COUNTER_BDR_REG1 (0Bh) and COUNTER_BDR_REG2 (0Ch)). This allows triggering

the reading of FIFO with the desired latency of one single sensor. The sensor is selectable

using the TRIG_COUNTER_BDR bit in COUNTER_BDR_REG1 (0Bh). As for the other

FIFO status events, the flag COUNTER_BDR_IA can be routed on the INT1 or INT2 pins by

asserting the corresponding bits (INT1_CNT_BDR of INT1_CTRL (0Dh) and

INT2_CNT_BDR of INT2_CTRL (0Eh)).

Meta information about accelerometer and gyroscope sensor configuration changes can be

managed by enabling the ODR_CHG_EN bit in FIFO_CTRL2 (08h).
