There are five QuickLoad buttons available. Each button is linked to a “.txt” file in your installation

next to the button.
The 'Buttons' QuickLoad option will set up the CAP1xxx evaluation board for each sensor to behave
as normal touch buttons. Due to the thin front cover of the evaluation boards, this means the gain is
set to the lowest option, and the sensitivity option is greatly reduced from the maximum.
The 'Proximity' QuickLoad option will set up the CAP1xxx evaluation board for all of the sensors to
detect the proximity of a hand approaching. The gain and sensitivity, in this case, are set very high.
Using this configuration, you can see how the size of the sensors will affect the possible range of
proximity detection.
