Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-conn-icon.png Simulation
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Scope Traces
Selects if the scope traces are automatically generated or not 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Connections
Fc9-type-6-icon.png Channel
Analogue input channel - which pin is the analogue input conected to? 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Settings
Fc9-type-14-icon.png VRef voltage
Used by the GetVoltage or GetString component macros to take an ADC reading and convert it into a Voltage. +VRef voltage x 10mV Default 500 = 5.0V  
Fc9-type-16-icon.png VRef option
Defines what is used as the ADC maximum reference. ADC Range = GND to VRef Voltage. VDD - Defines the microcontrollers power supply pin as the max reference, VREF+ Pin - Dedicated pin on the microcontroller to allow for a variable reference voltage.  
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Conversion speed
Clock setting to select how fast the ADC peripheral will perform an ADC conversion. The FRC setting is based on a RC time base and so will vary with temperature and pressure. Other settings are generally based on divisions of the master clock.  
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Aquisition cycles
Number of micro seconds to wait for the ACD input to charge before starting the analogue sample. 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Bit Depth
Maximum number of digital bits the ADC can sample. 8 bit = ADC range 0 - 255 10 bit = ADC range 0 - 1023 12 bit = ADC range 0 - 4095
