SetOutput |
| Sets the output voltage of the DAC 12-Bit: Range 0-4095 | |
 - BYTE
|
Channel |
| Range: 0-3 / 0=DAC Channel 0 / 1=DAC Channel 1 ... | |
 - UINT
|
DAC_Value |
| The value to output to the DAC | |
 - VOID
|
Return |
|
|
ControlPins |
| Allows Shutdown (SHDN) and Latch (LDAC) pins to be controlled directly if enabled. | |
 - BOOL
|
Latch |
| 0 = Data output driven from DAC register, 1 = Data output locked | |
| - VOID
|
Return |
|
|
SetInitialEEOutput |

Properties |
|
Pull Down Option |
|
|
VREF Option |
|
|
Gain Option |
| Selects the maximum reference value for the DAC | |
|
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 |
|
|
Device Address |
|
|
Channel |
| Channel selection | |
|
SDA |
| Pin used for SDA (data signal) | |
|
|
SCL |
| Pin used for SCL (clock signal) | |
|
|
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. | |
|
|
Use LDAC Pin |
| Allows the LDAC pin to be driven from an output pin on the microcontroller. If not used then tie the LDAC pin to GND to allow the DAC to function. | |
