Please note that to prevent data loss, the next pen detection and conversion are not performed as long as all
current channel data (i.e. channels selected in RegChanMsk) have not been read. If the host is too slow and
doesn’t read all channel data before next TOUCHRATE tick, no operation is performed and this TOUCHRATE
tick is simply ignored until next one.

In PENTRG mode the TOUCHRATE parameter is used to define the required coordinate’s throughput/rate.
However, as previously mentioned, in order for a new conversion to be performed the current conversion must
be completed and all relevant channel data must have been read by the host. If this condition is not met when
the next TOUCHRATE tick occurs, the tick is ignored and the condition checked again at the next one. This will
result in reduced actual rate vs what has been programmed in the TOUCHRATE parameter.
This is illustrated in figures below.
