ECAP module outputs can be checked for saturation, zero width or out of range based on the application requirement. While measuring the speed of rotating machinery, the application can set bounds on the measured speed based on the operating profile. Similar bound settings are possible for other application scenarios like period and duty cycle measurement, decoding current or voltage from the duty cycle of the encoded current or voltage sensors, and so forth. Online monitoring of periodic interrupts can also be performed for improved diagnostic coverage based on the application profile.
