Table
In bypass measurement mode, the signal bandwidth of the SCA3000 is extended by bypassing the
low-pass filter in signal channel. As a result of a wider measurement bandwidth, the noise level is
higher.
In narrow band measurement mode, the signal bandwidth of the SCA3000 is reduced by increasing
low-pass filtering in signal channel. In addition, the output data rate is halved due to decimation. As
a result of a narrower signal bandwidth, the noise level is lower.
In wide band measurement mode, the SCA3000 signal channel low-pass filtering pass band is
widened. As a result of a wider measurement bandwidth, the noise level is higher.
The optional measurement modes can be enabled by setting the bits called MODE_BITS in MODE
register to "010" or "001". See section 3.4 for MODE register details.
Acceleration data can be read from data output registers X_LSB, X_MSB, Y_LSB, Y_MSB, Z_LSB
and Z_MSB in all measurement modes. Each of these registers can be read one by one or using
the decrement register read, which is described in section 4.1.3.2 for SPI and 4.2.1.3 for I
interface. See section 3.3 for output register details.
Since acceleration data registers have no limiter, the possible overflow needs to be detected using
bits [B7, B6, B5]. If bits [B7, B6, B5] are ‘011’ or ‘100’, data overflow has occurred (see Table 3).
This applies for all acceleration output registers (X_LSB … Z_MSB and BUF_DATA).
Table 3. Overflow bit patterns in acceleration data registers (X_LSB … Z_MSB and BUF_DATA).

In case of overflow, the output register value must be discarded. When an overflow is detected, the
bit pattern ‘0101 1111 1111 1xxx’ is used for positive accelerations and ‘1010 0000 0000 0xxx’ for
