ABOUT THE mTouch™ SENSING SOLUTION DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
USING THE mTouch™ SENSING SOLUTION DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
Chapter 3. Using the mTouch™ Sensing Solution
This chapter describes the Graphical User Interface (GUI) diagnostic tool, mTouch™
sensing solution, that accompanies the mTouch Capacitive Evaluation Kit Boards, and
how it can be used in developing and troubleshooting touch sense applications.
Highlights include:
• About the mTouch™ Sensing Solution Diagnostic Tool
• Using the mTouch™ Sensing Solution Diagnostic Tool
The touch sensing solution is a multi-purpose application that has been designed for
use with many of Microchip’s touch sense demonstrations. The software provides a
useful tool for viewing, adjusting and debugging various aspects of the demonstration
software preloaded on the mTouch Capacitive Evaluation Kit Boards. The touch
sensing solution can also be used for developing customized applications.
The operation of the touch sensing solution described here is specific to its use with the
mTouch Capacitive Evaluation Kit Boards. For use with other Microchip applications,
refer to the specific application’s user’s guide.
Before starting the mTouch sensing solution diagnostic tool, ensure that the evaluation
board is connected to a USB port on a personal computer (or a USB hub connected to
the computer) and that the demo board is operating normally.
To start the mTouch sensing solution diagnostic tool:
1. Double-click the mTouch sensing solution diagnostic tool shortcut icon on the
2. Alternatively, the program may be launched by clicking on the Start button and
desktop.
then Programs > Microchip > mTouch.
The application launches with two windows, the Board Selection window and
Main Bar Graph Diagnostic Tool window, as shown in Figure 3-1.
