UART Control – set to control the UART interface. The default configuration is 8-bits, no parity, 19,200 
baud rate, and 1 stop bit. The OPS243 will start reporting out on the UART immediately after power on. 
If the USB is enumerated, the UART reporting will be shut off and data will be reported out USB. It’s not 
recommended to use OF with UART, especially at low baud rates.

Simple Object Detection Interrupt – a simple output which trips if an object in motion or object in range 
is detected.  The signal is toggled on the interrupt pin.  For the Doppler (-A, -C) radar sensors, the pin is 
high when no motion is present and low when motion is detected. For the FMCW (-B, -C) radar sensors, 
the pin is high when no object is in detected region and set low when and object is detected in the 
detection region. For Doppler (-A, -C) radar sensors the interrupt can be filtered on speed (R>n, R<n), 
signal magnitude (M>n, M<n), and direction (R+, R-, R|). For FMCW (-B, -C) radar sensors, the interrupt 
can be filtered on range (r>n, r<n) and signal magnitude (m>n, m<n).   Figure 7 shows how filtering can 
allow detection for certain objects and mask out others.
