	Power Mode
	Accel Data Rate
	Accel Scale
	Compass Data Rate
	Compass Scale
	Comms Mode
Specifies the communications mode. Interrupt - Wait for the interrupt pin to go high before allowing new data to be sampled. Polling - New data is sampled without needing to check the interrupt pin.
	Bit Depth
	Scope Traces
Selects if the scope traces are automatically generated or not
	Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not

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.
	SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal)
	SDA

	Interrupt Pin
	Simulations
	Simulate Comms
Controls how the simulation data is generated, via the component GUI or via a I2C injector.
