For generating proper status information, the CE is initialized by the MPU using SAG_THR (default of 80V RMS at the meter 
input if VMAX=600V) and SAG_CNT (default 80 samples). Using the default value for SAG_CNT, the peak-to-peak signal has to 
be below SAG_THR value for 32 milliseconds to activate the SAG_X status bits.

Number of consecutive voltage samples below SAG_THR before a sag alarm 
is declared. 80*397µs = 31.8ms (for MUX_DIV = 1). 
CE Transfer Variables 
When the MPU receives the XFER_BUSY interrupt, it knows that fresh data is available in the transfer variables. CE transfer 
variables are modified during the CE code pass that ends with an XFER_BUSY interrupt. They remain constant throughout 
each accumulation interval. In this data sheet, the names of CE transfer variables always end with _X. 
Fundamental Power Measurement Variables 
The table below describes each transfer variable for fundamental power measurement. All variables are signed 32 bit integers. 
Accumulated variables such as WSUM are internally scaled so they have at least 2x margin before overflow when the 
integration time is 1 second. Additionally, the hardware will not permit output values to ‘fold back’ upon overflow.

WxSUM_X is the Wh value accumulated for element ‘X’ in the last accumulation interval and can be computed based on the 
specified LSB value. 
For example with VMAX = 600V and IMAX = 208A, LSB (for WxSUM_X ) is 0.08356 µWh (MUX_DIV = 1).
