Property reference

	Properties
	I2C Config
	Channel
Channel selection
	Baud Select
Baud rate option selector
	Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used
	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.
	Connections
	SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal)
	SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal)
	LCD Configuration
	Voltage
Configures things like the display default contrast and follower
	Rows

	Columns

	Simulation
	Component Label

	Component Label Scale
The label scale can be change if the amout of text is too wide for the display
	Text Colour
Colour of the font characters drawn on the display
	Text Background
Colour surrounding the font characters drawn on the display
	Display Background
Colour of the background of the display
	Simulate Comms
Used to drive the comms durig simulation which can be used to: Data Recorder waveform generation Console Logging Data Injector to redirect the data e.g. to a SCADA slave connected to the physical hardware
