Macro reference

Initialise

	Initialise
Sets up the I2C ready for operation and initialises the sensor with the default settings. Returns 1 if the device is correctly identified.
- BOOL	Return

ReadMetersPerSecond

	ReadMetersPerSecond
Reads the air flow rate and returns a floating point value in meters per second
- FLOAT	Return

ReadMilesPerHour

	ReadMilesPerHour
Reads the air flow rate and returns a floating point value in miles per hour
- FLOAT	Return

ReadRaw

	ReadRaw
Reads the raw output from the air velocity sensor.
- UINT	Return

Property reference

	Properties
	Connections
	Channel
Channel selection
	SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal)
	SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal)
	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.
	Baud Select
Baud rate option selector
	Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used
	Settings
	Type
Choose which specific version of the sensor to dictate the maximum detectable air speed.
	Simulation
	Scope Traces
Selects if the component pin connections are automatically generated on the data recorder window or not. Yes: Automatically add the component pins to a group on the data recorder which will reflect the sim data during simultion. No: Do not show the pin signals on the data recorder window.
	Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not
	API
Specifies the API component on the panel to interact with to provide comms simulation.
