|   | Properties | 
|   | Simulation | 
|   | Start Angle | 
| Angle the control points to at its lowest setting.  Measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis. | 
|   | Sweep Angle | 
| Angle through which the control sweeps as it turns from minimum to maximum. | 
|   | Color | 
| Colour of the pointer. | 
|   | Scope Traces | 
| Selects if the scope traces are automatically generated or not | 
|   | Retain Value | 
| If yes is slected After saving your project,  the ADC value will be retained when your project is reloaded. | 
|   | Connections | 
|   | Channel | 
| Analogue input channel - which pin is the analogue input conected to? | 
|   | Settings | 
|   | 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 | 
|   | 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. | 
|   | 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. | 
|   | Acquisition cycles | 
| Number of micro seconds to wait for the ACD input to charge before starting the analogue sample. | 
|   | 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 |
