In the preceding tables, the parameter
setting the (0x0C) orient_hyst bits. 1 LSB of (0x0C) orient_hyst always corresponds to 62.5 mg,
in any g-range (i.e. increment is independent from g-range setting). It is important to note that by
using a hysteresis ≠ 0 the actual switching angles become different from the angles given in the
tables since there is an overlap between the different orientations.
The most significant bit of the (0x0C) orient bits (which is displayed as an ´x´ in the above given
tables) contains information about the direction of the z-axis. It is set to ´0´ (´1´) if acc_z ≥ 0
(acc_z < 0).
Figure 9 shows the typical switching conditions between the four different orientations for the
symmetrical mode (i.e. without hysteresis):
The orientation interrupt is enabled (disabled) by writing ´1´ (´0´) to bit (0x16) orient_en. The
interrupt is generated if the value of (0x0C) orient has changed. It is automatically cleared after
