| Description: |
| By default (value '0'), the capture thread checks for the Conversion |
| Ready Flag to being set prior to committing a new value to the sample |
| buffer. This synchronizes the in-chip conversion rate with the |
| in-driver readout rate at the cost of an additional register read. |
| |
| Writing '1' will remove the polling for the Conversion Ready Flags to |
| save the additional i2c transaction, which will improve the bandwidth |
| available for reading data. However, samples can be occasionally skipped |
| or repeated, depending on the beat between the capture and conversion |
| rates. |
