Macro reference

Initialise

Fc9-comp-macro.png Initialise
Configures the I2C bus ready for communications. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


ReadRawDataADC

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadRawDataADC
Returns the thermocouple temperature from the last sample as an integer value in Degrees C. 
Fc9-s32-icon.png - LONG Return


ReadReference_Float

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadReference_Float
Returns the reference (IC die) temperature from the last sample as a floating point. Use Sample first, which samples both reference & themocouple temperatures. 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Return


ReadReference_Int

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadReference_Int
Returns the Reference (IC die) temperature from the last sample as an integer value. Use Sample first, which samples both reference & themocouple temperatures. 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


ReadThermocouple_Float

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadThermocouple_Float
Returns the thermocouple temperature from the last sample as a floating point value. Use Sample first, which samples both reference & themocouple temperatures. 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Return


ReadThermocouple_Int

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadThermocouple_Int
Returns the thermocouple temperature from the last sample as an integer value. Use Sample first, which samples both reference & themocouple temperatures. 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


Sample

Fc9-comp-macro.png Sample
Must be called before any of the Read functions. Reads the memory of the MCP9600/1 IC. Returns 0 for 9600. Checks for errors, MCP9601 only. Returns: 0 = OK, 1 = O/ C Themocouple & 2=S/C Themocouple. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return


Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-conn-icon.png Thermocouple Properties
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Thermocouple Type
Thermocouple type. Selects which type of thermocouple the IC works with. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Filter Coefficients
Digitial filter selection. The higher the number the better the filter. Results more stable but take longer to update.  
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Unit
Select Temperature results to be celsius or fahrenheit
