1 Introduction
Thank you for requesting the MSP430FR6047 sample kit. This getting started guide reviews the contents of your
kit and provides an overview on how to quickly get started with the MSP430FR6047 experimental device for
water flow meter solution.
1.1 Package Contents
The package includes:
1. USS evaluation module (EVM) version 2.0 hardware that has the MSP430FR6047 device with interfaces to a
transducer pair:

2. The graphical user interface (GUI) to control the configurable parameters of the transducers and view the
results including the delta time of flight (dToF), absolute time of flight (aToF), measured flow rate, and ADC
waveforms:

IDE. This project uses TI’s Ultrasonic Sensing Solution (USS) Library and interfaces to the GUI:
4. The USS library and supporting documentation of the APIs that are available in the library:

1.2 What is Not Included
An Audiowell flow sensor with brass pipe is used as an example in this document. This sensor is available from
the
1.3 System Requirement
The system requires the latest Java and Uniflash standalone flash tool. If not already installed, they are available
from

, respectively
1.4 MSP430FR600x Evaluation
The MSP430FR600x variant devices do not have EVM hardware available, but share the same pinout as
MSP430FR6047. To evaluate MSP430FR600x, the EVM430-FR6047 can be used. The U1 IC must be de-
soldered and replaced with the MSP430FR600x device. The water demo software discussed in
includes a build for the MSP430FR6007 device, which should be use in this configuration
