Potentiometer Example

Macro reference

	ReadAsInt
Read the ADC at full bit depth
- INT	Return

	GetValue
Get the Float value, between lower and upper bounds. Used on App Developer
- FLOAT	Return

	ReadAsFloat
Reads the ADC as a direct voltage
- FLOAT	Return

	SetValue
Sets the Float value, between lower and upper bounds. Used on App Developer
- FLOAT	Value
- VOID	Return

	ReadAsVoltage
Reads the ADC as a direct voltage
- FLOAT	Return

	Ev_Start
Broadcast to all components that simulation is starting
- ULONG	Return

	ReadAsByte
Read the ADC as a byte
- BYTE	Return

	Properties
	Connections
	Channel
Analogue Input Channel - Which pin is the analogue input connected to?
	Settings
	VRef voltage
Used by the GetVoltage or GetString component macros to take an ADC reading and convert it into a Voltage. +VRef voltage x 10mV Default 500 = 5.0V
	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.
	Bit Depth
Maximum number of digital bits the ADC can sample. 8 bit = ADC range 0 - 255 10 bit = ADC range 0 - 1023 12 bit = ADC range 0 - 4095
