No detailed description exists yet for this component

Examples

This example simply reads the value from the thermistor sensor component and outputs the value to an LCD as a temperature in degrees C. FC6 Icon.png EBM003 Example




Macro reference

CalculateTemperature

Fc9-comp-macro.png CalculateTemperature
Converts the input ADC value and returns the Temperature in tenths of degree C 
Fc9-u16-icon.png - UINT ADCValue
ADC Reading to be converted 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


GetADCValue

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetADCValue
Returns the Raw ADC value from the Analogue Channel 
Fc9-u16-icon.png - UINT Return


GetIntegerTemperature

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetIntegerTemperature
Reads the ADC input and returns the calculated Temperature as Integer degrees C 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


GetRealTemperature

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetRealTemperature
Reads the ADC input and Returns the calculated Temperature as Float value in degrees C 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Return


SetChannel

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetChannel
Set the ADC Channel 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT ChannelID
 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


SetTemperature

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetTemperature
Simulation macro that sets the internal ADC value to the appropriate value for a given temperature. This allows all internal systems of the sensor to be simulated. 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Temperature
The temperature in C - restricted to -25 to +125 range 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return



Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-6-icon.png ADC Channel
The ADC channel to which the thermistor circuit is connected. It is assumed that the thermistor is connected between the ADC pin and 0V, with a fixed resistor connected between the ADC pin and +V. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png 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. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png ADC Bit Resolution
 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png 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. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png -25C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at -25 deg C 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png 0C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 0 deg C 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png 25C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 25 deg C 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png 50C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 50 deg C 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png 75C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 75 deg C 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png 100C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 100 deg C 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png 125C Thermistor Value
Value in Ohms of the Thermistor at 125 deg C 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png 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. 
Fc9-type-14-icon.png Acquisition cycles
Number of micro seconds to wait for the ADC input to charge before starting the analogue sample. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png 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.
