7.2 Capacitive Sense Profiler
The [
Capacitive Sense Profiler
] in Simplicity Studio displays touches, raw and processed data, and noise information in a simple-to-
use GUI. Touch and release any of the capacitive sensing peripherals on the board and the profiler will display the data in a table and
as a graph over time.
To access and setup the [
Capacitive Sense Profiler
] in [
Simplicity Studio
]:
1. Provide power to the board by connecting the USB connector to the PC using the provided USB cable.
2. Click the [
Refresh detected hardware
] button and select the [
CPT007B
] kit under [
Detected Hardware
].
3. Go to [
Tools
] and select the [
Capacitive Sense Profiler
] tile.
4. In the [
Control Panel
], click [
Use Device...
] .
Once the board is connected, touch and release any of the capacitive sensing touch peripherals on the board to view the raw and pro-
cessed data. The profiler can view the data as [
Raw Data
], [
Noise
], and [
Buttons
]. The Buttons view is particularly useful since it
shows the state of the capacitive sense touch pads as either on or off.
