 /*
- * The IC has 5 modes for sampling time. 5 mS mode is exceptional as it limits
- * the data collection to data0-channel only and cuts the supported range to
- * 10 bit. It is not supported by the driver.
- *
- * "normal" modes are 55, 100, 200 and 400 mS modes - which do have direct
- * multiplying impact to the register values (similar to gain).
+ * Measurement modes are 55, 100, 200 and 400 mS modes - which do have direct
+ * multiplying impact to the data register values (similar to gain).
  *
  * This means that if meas-mode is changed for example from 400 => 200,
  * the scale is doubled. Eg, time impact to total gain is x1, x2, x4, x8.
