A method includes generating, by a processing module interacting with a touch screen, drive sense data. The method further includes generating, by the processing module, capacitance grid data based on the drive sense data. The method further includes determining, by the processing module, a use for the capacitance grid data. The method further includes determining, by the processing module, data requirements for the capacitance grid data based on the use and properties of the capacitance grid. When data reduction is enabled, the method further includes determining, by the processing module, a data reduction scheme based on the data requirements and an output data rate. The method further includes processing, by the processing module, the capacitance grid data in accordance with the data reduction scheme to produce reduced capacitive gird data. The method further includes providing, by the processing module, the reduced capacitive grid data to a datap circuit.
