Fred,
RR just supports the generic i2c command to the serializer that is a simple pass through command. RoboticsConnection would know more about connecting the serializer to the TPA81 ... or perhaps even the vendors of the TPA81 could give you some insight as to what commands they send out on the i2c bus.
STeven.

Have a look at the Filter Variables
http://www.roborealm.com/help/Filter_Variables.php
and select the variable that contains the value and the memory size (past values) to 8 and the method to mean.
Then use a VBScript module with the following code assuming your variable is called "temperature". Note the VBScript module should be AFTER the filter variable.
' get your temperature reading (already averaged)
temp = GetVariable("temperature")
' determine difference from this and past value
diff = temp - GetVariable("last_temperature")
' convert to fahrenheit
diff = ((diff / 5 ) * 9 ) + 32
' save
SetVariable "temperature_difference", diff
' update value for next iteration
SetVariable "last_temperature", temp
