4.6 Monitor mode
Touching a sensor does not always mean the EVK will consider this as a touch.
It might e.g. be that the touch is only partly on the sensor area or maybe the overlay material is replaced by
something thicker.
The EVK parameters are set such that sensor area, overlay material and thickness are operational.
In case the user changes the hardware or just needs to observe raw signals the GUI can be set in monitor mode.
Follow the next steps:
-select the Cap Sensors tab
Figure 18: Cap Sensors tab
- then push the Start button at the bottom.
- a stop button
and the monitor icon
will appear.
- click on the monitor icon.
- a window appears with the sensor data.
