Material Present Output
This output reflects the Material Present status. It is the same as the Material Present bit in the status word of the serial output data.
Voltage High: Material is present
Voltage Low: Material is not present
Valid Measurement Output
This output indicates if the gauge is making valid measurements. The output is the same as the Valid LED on the gauge.
Voltage High: Valid Measurements are being made
Voltage Low: No measurements are being made
QF Pulse Output
This output is a frequency output that indicates the current Quality Factor. A frequency of 100Hz indicates a QF of 0, and a frequency of 1kHz indicates a QF of 15. The frequency of the output increases by 60Hz with each increase of 1 in the QF (100, 160, 220, 280, 340, …, 940, 1000)
