Properties |
|
Thermocouple Properties |
|
Thermocouple Type |
| Thermocouple type. Selects which type of thermocouple the IC works with. | |
|
|
Filter Coefficients |
| Digitial filter selection. The higher the number the better the filter. Results more stable but take longer to update. | |
|
|
Unit |
| Select Temperature results to be celsius or fahrenheit | |
|
|
I2C Properties |
|
Address |
| Address ranges 0x60 - 0x67 (96 - 103) | |
|
|
Channel |
| Channel selection | |
|
SDA |
| Pin used for SDA (data signal) | |
|
|
SCL |
| Pin used for SCL (clock signal) | |
