Range: 0-7, 0=1Hz, 1=2Hz, 2=4Hz etc 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Oversample
Range: 0-7, 0=1Samples, 1=2Samples, 2=4Samples etc 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


ConfigureTemperature

Fc9-comp-macro.png ConfigureTemperature
Configures the temperature sensor sample rate and over sampling count 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Rate
Range: 0-7, 0=1Hz, 1=2Hz, 2=4Hz etc 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Oversample
Range: 0-7, 0=1Samples, 1=2Samples, 2=4Samples etc 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Initialise

Fc9-comp-macro.png Initialise
Starts up the I2C ready to communicate with the sensor. Sets the selected rates and operational mode. Returns 1 if the sensor has been found and initialised. 
Fc9-bool-icon.png - BOOL Return


ReadAltitude

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadAltitude
Reads the pressure measurement from the last SampleSensor macro and converts the pressure reading into an altitude reading. 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Return


ReadPressure

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadPressure
Reads the pressure measurement from the last SampleSensor macro 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Return


ReadRegister

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadRegister
Reads a byte from a register 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Address
 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return


ReadTemperature

Fc9-comp-macro.png ReadTemperature
Reads the temperature measurement from the last SampleSensor macro 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Return


SampleSensor

Fc9-comp-macro.png SampleSensor
Checks to see if new data is available for temperature or pressure and collects it. Returns 0 if no new data is available Returns 1 for pressure, 2 for temperature and 3 for both. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Return


SetMode

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetMode
Sets the operational mode of the sensor to be continous or one shot 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Mode
 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


WriteRegister

Fc9-comp-macro.png WriteRegister
Writes a byte to a register 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Address
 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Data
 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return

Pin used for SDA (data signal) 
Fc9-type-5-icon.png SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal) 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png 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.  
Fc9-conn-icon.png Simulation
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Simulate Comms
No: Provides simulation using the panel component sliders. Yes: Communicates via an API Slave device to real world hardware, shows the results using the panel component sliders.
