Graphical User Interface
The objective of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is to illustrate the functionality of the sensor and to allow basic
investigations of TLI4970 sensor. In particular the GUI allows the user to monitor data output of the sensor. The
values of the monitored signals can then be saved in a CSV file for subsequent analysis with special software, for
example, Excel or Matlab. Further, internal settings of the sensor can be configured either in the RAM or in the
EEPROM. Details about the sensor parameters are given in the corresponding data sheet.
In the following sections all features of the GUI will be explained in detail.

Main Window
The Evalkit software can be started via the start menu (Start->All Programs->TLI4970->TLI4970 Evalkit Software).
The main window of the application is illustrated in
The field “Programmer” will show a list of all PGSISI-2 that have been connected to the PC via a USB cable. If the
respective field is empty, please connect a PGSISI-2 via USB cable to the PC or press the update button. The
number of connected PGSISI-2 programmer is not limited. For each connected programmer one entry in the list
of “Programmer” will be shown. The number behind the name PGSISI-2 specifies the serial number of the
respective box so that a link between the PGSISI-2 in the list and the physical connected PGSISI-2 can be made.
