7 Reading sensor data
7.1 Overview
7.1.1 Sensor read interfaces
The Atmel Sensors Xplained software provides a set of high-level functions to obtain
data from sensor devices and return the measurements in an easy-to-use form. Each
type of sensor has a corresponding read function to get data from the device.
Table 7-1 contains a summary of the sensor read functions for each sensor type.

NOTE
The code sequence examples found later in this section reference sensor.h
explicitly. If you are using an automatically generated asf.h file that includes
sensor.h , you may simply include asf.h instead.
7.1.2 Sensor data structure – sensor_data_t
All API functions that return sensor data readings do so using the sensor_data_t
data structure. When the sensor read function returns, this structure will contain the
measurement values from the device, as well as a high-granularity timestamp.
The sensor_data_t structure uses a C union to define “aliases” of the data fields to
provide more meaningful names for use in your application. See Table 7-1 for the
recommended field name references for specific functions.
