Properties
Channel
Channel selection 
SDA
Pin used for SDA (data signal) 
SCL
Pin used for SCL (clock signal) 
Baud Select
Baud rate option selector 
Baud Rate
Baud rate to be used 
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.  
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. 
I2C Data
Set whether the I2C data is displayed as decimal or hexadecimal numbers. 
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
