STMicroelectronics LIS2MDL Element
The LIS2MDL element is used to measure magnetic fields. This element is for using the STMicroelectronics LIS2MDL magnetometer sensor, which is featured on the X-NUCLEO-IKS01A3 environmental sensor expansion board.
The LIS2MDL is a sensor element that can be imported into the Element Toolbox through the Add Element 
button located in the toolbox from the Embedded tab.
Properties
The following properties can be changed for the LIS2MDL element:
Name
The name of the element.
I2C Driver Instance
The I2C bus used to communicate with the sensor.
I2C Address
The I2C address the element sends data to. Verify which I2C address the sensor is using by checking its schematics.
Output Data Rate
The data rate for the magnetometer to sample readings. This includes the following options:
10 Hz(default)20 Hz50 Hz100 Hz
Triggers
The following triggers are available to execute events from within the LIS2MDL element:
Triggered
Execute an event when the source element connected to the LIS2MDL triggers.
Magnetic Field Read
Execute an event when the magnetometer’s data is read.
X Magnetic Field Read
Execute an event when the magnetometer’s x-axis value is read.
Y Magnetic Field Read
Execute an event when the magnetometer’s y-axis value is read.
Z Magnetic Field Read
Execute an event when the magnetometer’s z-axis value is read.
Abilities
The following abilities are available for the LIS2MDL element when its source element triggers:
