	GetIntegerTemperature
Reads the ADC input and returns the calculated Temperature as Integer degrees C
- INT	Return

	GetRealTemperature
Reads the ADC input and Returns the calculated Temperature as Float value in degrees C
- FLOAT	Return

	IO_ReadAnalogAsByte
Reads one of the analogue components as an byte value
- BYTE	Channel
0 = Light Sensor, 1 = Pot1, 2 = Pot2, 3 = Thermistor
- BYTE	Return

	IO_ReadAnalogAsInt
Reads one of the analogue components as an Integer value
- BYTE	Channel
0 = Light Sensor, 1 = Pot1, 2 = Pot2, 3 = Thermistor
- INT	Return

	Properties
	Analog Connections
	Light Sensor
Analogue Input Channel - Which pin is the analogue input connected to?
	Pot1
Analogue Input Channel - Which pin is the analogue input connected to?
	Pot2
Analogue Input Channel - Which pin is the analogue input connected to?
	Thermistor
Analogue Input Channel - Which pin is the analogue input connected to?
	ADC 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
	Simulation
	Analog Scope Traces
Controls if traces are automatically added to the data recorder window for the analogue signals on the combo board.
