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. | |
