[QUESTION] Using the sensor at lower duty cycles

[psachs]

Hi,

It is possible to adjust the sampling interval to 10s and run it in low power mode. This is not documented in the Datasheet but in a specific application note.
We only tested the Algorithm for 1s and 10s. You are free to set any arbitrary sampling interval but we do not have any data on the performance of the algorithm in this case. E.g. if you feed the algorithm every 60s as you suggested the performance will suffer for sure and you will most certainly miss short term VOC events.

If you have a hard reset every 24h you have to make sure to save and restore the state in between to ensure the algorithm keeps it's history.
Please note that for the first 60s after restart the algorithm will always output 0 even if you restore the state to ensure a stable start.

Best regards,
Pascal

Hi @psachs, sorry for not replying to this sooner. Thank you very much for the response. We are going to test this internally and maybe write back in here.
