	SetOutput
Sets the output voltage of the DAC 12-Bit: Range 0-4095
- UINT	DAC_Value
The value to output to the DAC
- VOID	Return

	Disable
Disables the DAC output.
- VOID	Return

	Enable
Enables the DAC Output.
- VOID	Return

	Initialise
Configures the I2C peripheral ready for communications and initialises the internal variables. DAC needs to be enabled before any output voltage can be generated.
- VOID	Return

Property reference

	Properties
	Disabled Pull Down
Sets the pull down resistance when the IC's DAC output is disabled.
	Vref Voltage
Reference Voltage, Used to calculate the Voltage resolution.
	Steps
Number of discrete output states available from the DAC.
	Control Bits
Number of digital control bits
	Resolution
Maximum output resolution based on number of control bits.
	Voltage Resolution
Specifies the Resolution per digital bit in terms of Voltage.
	I2C Connections
	User Address Bits
Specifies the bottom three "user" bits of the I2C 7-bit address
	Channel
Channel selection
	SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal)
	SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal)
	Stop Delay
On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications.
	Baud Select
Baud rate option selector
	Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used
	Simulation
	Simulate Comms
