Notes:
1) Field Measurement Range is defined as the monotonic region of the output characteristic curve.
2) Period select value of 2048. The Gain and Resolution can be increased by a factor of 2 by
setting the period select to 4095. However, the ASIC counter can overflow if the field is strong
enough to drive the count beyond a signed 16-bit signed integer. Period select set to 2048 is the
highest setting where it is impossible to overflow the counter. In practical magnetometer
