+This file provides full 8 bytes of the chip Page 1 (01h).

+"offset"
+--------
+This file controls the 2-byte Offset Register of the chip.
+Writing a 2-byte value will change the Offset Register, which changes the
+current measurement done by the chip. Changing this register to the two's complement
+of the current register while forcing zero current through the load will calibrate
+the chip, canceling offset errors in the current ADC.
