Hi,

The sense-functionality is used to generate interrupt on a pin change. This can be used if you want to perform an action if the pin change, but do not want to check the level of the pin regularly. Check out the GPIOTE driver and Pin Change Interrupt Example in the SDK for details on how this can be used.

Best regards,

Jørgen

Looking at infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp shows that this will trigger an Event

There is also a Latch
