Property reference
Ambient Pin (SUR)
This property is of type Single analog pin and can be referenced with the variable name resADC::channel.
Analogue input channel - which pin is the analogue input conected to?
Object Pin (OBJ)
This property is of type Single analog pin and can be referenced with the variable name objADC::channel.
Analogue input channel - which pin is the analogue input conected to?
VRef voltage
This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name resADC::vrefvol.
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
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name resADC::vrefop.
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
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name resADC::convspd.
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
This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name resADC::actime.
Number of micro seconds to wait for the ACD input to charge before starting the analogue sample.
Temperature Calibration
This property is of type Floating point and can be referenced with the variable name TempCalib.
Ambient temperature calibration value
Temperature Range
This property is of type Floating point and can be referenced with the variable name TempRange.
Map of temperature-voltage according to sensor datasheet.
10 is the temperature step when sensor and object distance is 9CM.
Offset Voltage
This property is of type Floating point and can be referenced with the variable name OffsetVoltage.
Voltage of mid level voltage after 5-10 mins to bring the sensor to ambient.
Number of Samples
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name NumSamples.
Number of samples to take to average out each reading.
Default 10.
