First we create an Analog Input Agent Component.
To do this we drag-and-drop the Analog Input Agent icon
from the Component Toolbar down onto the Component Listview.
|
 The
Analog Input Agent's Property Sheet will appear. Each
type of Component has a Property Sheet that lets you
configure the properties of that Component. We fill
in a meaningful name for the Analog Input Agent and
then click to select the PortAD Pin which the thermistor
sensor is attached to.
|
 If
our sensor had any drift we could specify a calibration
offset, but for this example we'll assume the sensor is
accurate. Our Analog Input Agent is fully configured.
Click OK to complete it. |
 As
soon as we click OK, the Analog Input Agent Component
is created and begins running on the Target microcontroller.
It will take the value on the analog-to-digital Pin (i.e.
the readings from the thermistor sensor) and make them
available to the rest of the application. Any Component
that uses this "Temp Sensor" Analog Input Agent
as a Source will get these values. |
