Thermistor component

A generic thermistor component that can be used to simulate and create code for any thermistor with a known temperature/resistance curve. Thermistor is connected in a simple potential divider circuit - thermistor between ADC input and 0V, and a fixed resistor between ADC and the positive supply. Default calibration is for the EBM003 module.

Property reference

Properties
ADC Properties
ADC Configuration
 
ADC Channel
Analogue Input Channel - Which pin is the analogue input connected to? 
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 ADC input to charge before starting the analogue sample. 
Thermistor Properties
Wiring
Specifies the arrangement of the Thermistor and Fixed Resistor. Pull Down - Thermistor connected between ADC pin and GND, fixed resistor between ADC pin and VCC. Pull Up - Thermistor connected between ADC pin and VCC, fixed resistor between ADC pin and GND. 
Resistor Value
Value in Ohms of the pullup series resistor. i.e. The resistor is connected between the ADC pin and the positive supply rail. 
-25C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at -25 deg C 
0C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 0 deg C 
25C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 25 deg C 
50C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 50 deg C 
75C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 75 deg C 
100C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 100 deg C 
125C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 125 deg C 
Simulation
Label
A text label to help you identify the component on the panel. 
Min. Temp.
Minimum termperature that can be set or displayed on the thermometer slider. 
Max. Temp.
Maximum termperature that can be set or displayed on the thermometer slider. 
Scale divisions
Number of numbered divisions shown on the thermometer scale.
