The Registers tab interacts with the registers and bits within the TMP4718 device. The Auto Read drop-down box configures polling of register contents.

When Auto Read is Off, click Read Register to fetch the contents of the current register. Click Read All Registersto see the contents of all registers at once.

The Write Register button is greyed and disabled when the drop-down next to the button is set to Immediate. Immediate mode triggers a Write operation each time a register is modified.

When Deferred mode is selected, the Write Register button is enabled. Write operations will not start until the Write Register button is clicked. These settings give the user total control over I²C Bus activity and allow the user to see individual transactions with an oscilloscope, logic analyzer, or bus-sniffing device.
