	Properties
	Ambient Pin (SUR)
Analogue input channel - which pin is the analogue input conected to?
	Object Pin (OBJ)
Analogue input channel - which pin is the analogue input conected to?
	ADC Properties
	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.
	Advanced Settings
	Temperature Calibration
Ambient temperature calibration value
	Temperature Range
Map of temperature-voltage according to sensor datasheet. 10 is the temperature step when sensor and object distance is 9CM.
	Offset Voltage
Voltage of mid level voltage after 5-10 mins to bring the sensor to ambient.
	Number of Samples
Number of samples to take to average out each reading. Default 10.
