7.5.3 Simple Current Shunt Monitor Usage (No Programming Necessary)

The INA230 can be used without any programming if reading a shunt voltage drop and bus voltage with the default power-on reset configuration and continuous conversion of shunt and bus voltage is all that is required for the user application.

Without programming the INA230 Calibration register, the device is unable to provide either a valid current or power value, because these outputs are both derived using the values loaded into the Calibration register.
