	SimReset1G
- VOID	Return

	UpdateCompassData
Reads from the compass and updates the local XYZ variables. Returns 1 for new data and 0 for no new data
- BYTE	Return

	SimSetAccelerometer
Allows the XYZ slider values to be set via the simulation
- INT	X
- INT	Y
- INT	Z
- VOID	Return

	CollectXYZData
Collect the data from the local accelerometer buffers. The Axis parameter specifies the Axis to be read. 0 / 'x' / 'X' - X axis 1 / 'y' / 'Y' - Y axis 2 / 'z' / 'Z' - Z axis
- BYTE	Axis
- INT	Return

	UpdateAccelerometerData
Reads from the accelerometer and updates the local XYZ variables. Returns 1 for new data and 0 for no new data
- BYTE	Return

	SimSetCompass
Allows the XYZ slider values to be set via the simulation
- INT	X
- INT	Y
- INT	Z
- VOID	Return

	Initialise
Sets up up the communication bus and initialises the accelerometer module. Returns 0 for success and > 0 for fail.
- BYTE	Return

	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.

	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.

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