6.1 Selection of CALIB_MON_TIME_UNIT

The first step is to compute the total available idle time per frame. For advanced frames, this includes all inter-burst idle times, inter-subframe idle times, and the inter-frame idle time. From this number, 100 µs should be reserved to allow for the preparation time for the next frame.

The next step is to compute the duration of all enabled periodic calibrations, all enabled monitors, and the software overheads. The duration of each of the monitors and calibrations are listed in Appendix A.

Then, the smallest allowed value of CALIB_MON_TIME_UNIT is the number of frames needed to accommodate the above duration in the available idle time per frame. The software overhead for the windowed watchdog depends on the CALIB_MON_TIME_UNIT, and thus this calculation must be iterative.

CALIB_MON_TIME_UNIT can be chosen to be any number higher than this, as required by the application. Refer to the Interface Control Document for some example computations of the calibration time and configuring the CALIB_MON_TIME_UNIT.
