Abstract
A system and method for operating a sensor which has at least two modes of operation. The sensor may be provided with a sequence of common operation steps which are included in both a first sequence of operation steps which define a first mode of operation and a second sequence of operation steps which define a second mode of operation. The sensor may also be provided with one or more dummy operation steps which relate to the difference between the first mode of operation and the second mode of operation. The sensor can be operated in the first mode of operation by causing it to execute at least the common operation steps and it can be operated in the second mode of operation by causing it to execute the common operation steps and at least one dummy operation step.
