During operation, the MPU is in charge of controlling the multiplexer cycles, for example by inserting an alternate 
multiplexer sequence at regular intervals using MUX_ALT. This enables temperature measurement. The polarity of 
chopping circuitry must be altered for each sample. It must also alternate for each alternate multiplexer reading. This 
is accomplished by maintaining CHOP_E = 00. 
CE Calculations 
The CE performs the precision computations necessary to accurately measure energy. These computations include 
offset cancellation, products, product smoothing, product summation, frequency detection, VAR calculation, sag 
detection, peak detection, and voltage phase measurement. All data computed by the CE is dependent on the 
selected meter equation as given by  EQU (in I/O RAM). Although EQU=0 and EQU=2 have the same element 
mapping, the MPU code can use the value of EQU to decide if element 2 is used for tamper detection (typically done 
by connecting VB to VA) or as a second independent element.

CE STATUS 
Since the CE_BUSY interrupt occurs at 2520.6Hz, it is desirable to minimize the computation required in the interrupt 
handler of the MPU. The MPU can read the CE status word at every CE_BUSY interrupt.

CESTATUS 
See description of CE status word below 
The CE Status Word is used for generating early warnings to the MPU. It contains sag warnings for VA as well as F0, 
the derived clock operating at the fundamental input frequency. CESTATUS provides information about the status of 
voltage and input AC signal frequency, which are useful for generating early power fail warnings, e.g. to initiate 
necessary data storage. CESTATUS represents the status flags for the preceding CE code pass (CE busy interrupt). 
Sag alarms are not remembered from one code pass to the next. The CE Status word is refreshed at every 
CE_BUSY interrupt.
