Downloadable macro reference

ReadPressureFloat

Reads the pressure as a floating point value in Bars.

Resultion sets the return bit value and conversion time.

Calls the ReadPressureRaw function and then converts to a meaningful value.

Parameters

BYTE Resolution
Range 0-5


Return value

FLOAT


Reset

Resets the device

Parameters

This macro has no parameters


Return value

This call does not return a value


ReadTemperatureFloat

Reads the temperature as a floating point value in °C.

Resultion sets the return bit value and conversion time.

Calls the ReadTemperatureRaw function and then converts to a meaningful value.

Parameters

BYTE Resolution
Range 0-5


Return value

FLOAT


ReadPressureRaw

Reads the pressure as a digital 32-bit value.

Resultion sets the return bit value and conversion time.

0=0.11mBar / 1=0.062mBar / 2=0.039mBar

3=0.028mBar / 4=0.021mBar / 5=0.016mBar

Parameters

BYTE Resolution
Range 0-5


Return value

ULONG


ReadTemperatureRaw

Reads the temperature as a digital 32-bit value.

Resultion sets the return bit value and conversion time.

0=0.012°C / 1=0.009°C / 2=0.006°C

3=0.004°C / 4=0.003°C / 5=0.002°C

Property reference

Channel

This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::CHANNEL.

Channel selection

SDA

This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::SDA.

Pin used for SDA (data signal)

SCL

This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::SCL.

Pin used for SCL (clock signal)

Baud Select

This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::BAUD_LIST.

Baud rate option selector

Baud Rate

This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::BAUD.

Baud rate to be used

Stop Delay

This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name cal_i2c1::StopDel.

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.
