Would be nice to standardize persistence attribute
(IIO_CHAN_INFO_PERSISTENCE).
If I understand the behavior correctly it causes that the event needs to be
triggered at least n times before the event is reported by the chip. In my
opinion 'persistence' is not a good term for that. I'm not sure what a
better term is but I think it should go more in the direction of ratelimit
or something.
I've seen this term used for many devices:
* TSL25911 ambient light sensor [1]
[ One set of thresholds can be configured to trigger an interrupt only when
the ambient light exceeds them for a configurable amount of time
(persistence)
]
* TAOS TCS34725 ambient light sensor [2]
[
The interrupt persistence filter allows the user to define the number
of consecutive
out-of-threshold events necessary before generating an interrupt.
]
* Avago SAPDS-9950, Sensortek STK3310
I think the TSL25911 datasheet best describes this parameter, as the
amount of time
that ambient light should exceed a threshold until an interrupt is
generated.
Ok, that makes more sense. I misunderstood the initial description as that
the signal would have to go first above the threshold then below the
threshold, and this for a number of times. Whereas it needs to exceed the
threshold for a certain amount of time before the event is triggered. If
it goes below the threshold before the persistence interval no event is
triggered and the counter is reset.
Yes, it needs to cross the threshold n number of times before a event is
generated.
Wait. It needs to cross the threshold or it needs to stay above the threshold?
