Hello
How can I read 40 bits from a register of the ina740 ?
Simply set the register pointer and read continuously?
thanks

Hey Benno,
Once you set the register pointer to desired register address, you simply initiate a read command, and then the whole contents of the register will be sent in 8 bit (1 byte) chunks until finished. You can see how we read these variable sized registers with our provided EVM code seen in our Sys Config tool:

The datasheet shows a read command for a 2 byte register, but for a larger register the INA740 would continue transmitting bytes until the whole register was sent.

Sincerely,
Peter
