Sampling methods are defined by three bits, as follows:
1100
ENOPTR – Enable Notify On Positive Threshold Reached.
The channel number and
the threshold (16 bit
value).
Result (OK or ERROR).
1101
ENONTR – Enable Notify On Negative Threshold Reached.
The channel number and
the threshold (16 bit
value).
Result (OK or ERROR).
1110
ENOL – Enable Notify if Out of Limits.
The channel number and
the limit values (16 bit
value), first the lower
and then the higher limit.
Result (OK or ERROR).
1111
ENIL – Enable Notify if Inside the Limits.
The channel number and
the limit values (16 bit
value), first the lower
and then the higher limit.
Result (OK or ERROR).

Not defined.
Minimum
001
If more than one sample per slot is performed, the lowes value will be stored.
Maximum
010
If more than one sample per slot is performed, the highest value will be stored.
Sum
011
The sum of all samples for a certain slot will be stored.
Average (arithmetic)
100
If more than one sample per slot is performed, the arithmetic average of all samples
will be stored.
Average (circular)
101
If more than one sample per slot is performed, the average computed on a circle will
be stored (i.e. on a 0 to 359 deg. circle, overflow occurs at the 359 deg value).
First sample
110
If more than one sample per slot is performed, the first value will be stored. All other
samples are discarded.
Last sample
111
If more than one sample per slot is performed, the last value will be stored. All other
samples are discarded.
