a mid voltage input path, and a high voltage input path. The following table
correlates input type to input path.

Each input path supports four different filter frequencies: 10Hz,
50Hz, 60Hz and 250Hz. The following table indicates auto-
calibration time based on the input path, and the selected filter
frequency.
Input Path 250Hz Filter 60Hz Filter 50Hz Filter 10Hz Filter
Low 181mS 384mS 435mS 1.85S
Mid 181mS 384mS 435mS 1.85S
High 96mS 208mS 238mS 1.03S
CJC sensors are acquired through the low voltage input path at
60Hz, to maximize the trade-offs between resolution and update rate.
Once every two minutes, the module calibrates one of the input path and
filter combinations on successive scans until all input path and filter
combinations that are used have been calibrated. During auto-calibration,
the module scan time will increase by the auto-calibration time.
Auto-calibration can be disabled by placing a one in any enabled channel’s
auto-cal disable bit.
