IQ Switch ProxSense Series IQS316 Evaluation Kit User Guide IQ Switch - ProxSense Series IQS316 EV-Kit and software GUI 1 Introduction This user guide describes the operation of the IQS316 Evaluation Kit. The EV-Kit is manufactured in three parts, consisting of a controller board, and two separate plug-in keypad boards. The controller board is interfaced to any personal computer with the Azoteq Configuration Tool (CT210) or DS100 Data Streamer, and the IQS316 Graphical User Interface (GUI). The keypad module boards consist of a 16-key touch panel and an 8-key touch panel. The purpose of the IQS316 EV-Kit is to facilitate application and development engineers in evaluating the IQS316 proximity and touch sensor. A digital copy of this user guide is available for download at the website. 2 IQS316 EV-Kit Controller Board Figure 2.1 Top view of IQS316 EV-Kit controller board 3 16-Key Touch panel This demo utilises the 16-Key touch panel interfaced to the IQS316 controller board. The 16-Key touch panel plugs into the controller board port. The controller board is in turn interfaced to a personal computer running the IQS316 GUI software, by means of a CT210. The touch panel is illustrated in the figure below. The 16 touch keys have a 1mm Perspex overlay and are arranged in a 4 x 4 matrix, labelled from 1 to 16.
