g and in 8g mode the sensitivity is 64 counts/g.

sensor stationary on a horizontal surface will measure 0g in X-axis and 0g in Y-axis whereas the Z-axis will measure 1g. The output
is ideally in the middle of the dynamic range of the sensor (content of OUT registers 0x00, data expressed as 2's complement
number). A deviation from ideal value in this case is called Zero-g offset. Offset is to some extent a result of stress on the MEMS
sensor and therefore the offset can slightly change after mounting the sensor onto a printed circuit board or exposing it to
extensive mechanical stress.
3.3
actuation force is applied to the sensor, simulating a small acceleration. In this case the sensor outputs will exhibit a change in
their DC levels which are related to the selected full scale through the device sensitivity. When Self-T est is activated, the device
output level is given by the algebraic sum of the signals produced by the acceleration acting on the sensor and by the electrostatic
test-force.

transitioning from STANDBY to ACTIVE. These are all noted in the device memory map register table. The SLEEP and WAKE
modes are ACTIVE modes. For more information on how to use the SLEEP and WAKE modes and how to transition between
these modes please refer to the functionality section of this document.

The sensitivity is represented in counts/g. In 2g mode the sensitivity is 256 counts/g. In 4g mode the sensitivity is 128 counts/
Zero-g Offset (TyOff) describes the deviation of an actual output signal from the ideal output signal if the sensor is stationary. A
Self-T est checks the transducer functionality without external mechanical stimulus. When Self-T est is activated, an electrostatic
