BQ40z50 O/L Scaling Factor

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ40Z50

Hi

In early stages of development for a sometimes battery operated device and researching multi-cell (4) gauge/protection options and have some questions about the BQ40z50 device. The datasheet indicates a
typical ΔVOCD (OCD detection threshold voltage program step)  with AFE protection = 1  is –5.56mV, and –2.78 with AFE protection = 0.

Appendix A of the technical reference manual, on page 216, shows finite values for each mode;

Pardon my naivete,  but I am confused by this. Can the device be programmed using an incremental step OR a preset scale factor "code" or am I out in left field on this. And so that I am understanding correctly, can some one clarify what is the difference between AFE PROTECTION CONTROL[RSNS], aka AFE protection = 0 vs 1?
