About this document
Scope and purpose
This document describes the Evaluation Kit for the TLE5x09A16(D) angle sensor.
The purpose of this manual is to describe the software installation process
and how to use the TLE5x09A16(D) angle sensor Evaluation Kit.
Intended audience
This document is intended for anyone who wants to use the TLE5x09A16(D)
Evaluation Kit
General description
This kit is based on XMC™ 4700 platform. The kit is equipped with the
TLE5x09A16(D) dual die angle sensor and a FTDI chip that implements a high
baud rate communication.
The EvalKit consists of:
- Dual Die Angle Sensors Evaluation Board
- Rotation knob (3D printed) with magnet (MTS SD-6×2.5-NI-N35SH)
The EvalKit does not contain:
- micro USB cable
The
Evaluation Kit includes a GUI software application that can be downloaded from
the Evaluation Kit product page
Installation
This is the installer entry point.
-
Click Next to go forward with the process
-
Please read the license agreement
a. Check the “I accept the terms in the License Agreement” checkbox
b. The “Next” button activates only after agreeing with the terms -
Directory for the software installation
a. You may select the installation folder – recommended is to leave the default installation path
b. You may select if a desktop icon is generated or not
c. The hardware device may only operate on a computer that has the FTDI driver installed
d. The Software GUI is built in .NET environment 4.5. A check is being done for compatibility and you may choose to install (if not already installed) the .NET framework 4.7 (web installer – requires connection to internet) -
Confirm the installation process
-
Beginning of the installation process
a. Windows UAC (user access control) will prompt for access confirmation
b. Depending on the security settings, you may need administration rights on the installation machine
c. Wait for the installation process to finish -
Beginning ot the FTDI driver installation process
-
Device driver installation Wizard
a. This wizard helps you install the software drivers that some computers devices need in order to work
b. Click next to continue -
Please read the license agreement and check the “I accept this agreement” checkbox. The “Next” button activates only after agreeing with the terms
-
Finalize the installation by clicking Finish
a. Check the message provided by the installer. In case of errors, the Software will not be available for running
Evaluation Kit for Angle Sensors
3.1 Connection to PC and starting the application
Connect the hardware to PC using a USB to Micro-USB cable
Start the application (via shortcut on desktop or Start → All Programs →
Infineon Technologies → Dual Angle Sensor Evalkit)
-
This GUI component will show any connected devices. You may select the device and open a connection / flash the device.
Note: Press the ´Connect´Button to go on. There are three buttons available: Connect, disconnect, refresh -
You may select the sensor type via the combo-box and start/stop acquisition.
-
Sensor panel – will be displayed after valid sensor is being selected by the user.
3.2 Connecting to the device
While connecting to the device, the animated picture with rotating gears will
appear.
The software will check the firmware version and flash if it needs to be
updated.
The picture will disappear when the process is omplete and the device is
ready.
3.3 TLE5x09A16(D) sensor panel
After selecting the sensor from the drop down list, the sensor panel will
appear.
You can now start the data acquisition. All controls (Settings, Calibration
Panel, Save, Clear) become available only if data acquisition is
stopped.
3.4 Calibration panel
The raw signals of the analog angle sensor TLE5x09A16(D) have to be calibrated
to achieve high angle accuracy.
A calibration of amplitude, offset and non-orthogonality has to be done when
the sensor is used the first time (end-of-line calibration).
When the panel opens the final parameters used for angle calibration are read
from the microcontroller.
In this panel the user can start the sensor calibration procedure. Every start
will reset the existing calibration parameters stored on the microcontroller.
Below the circle quadrants, instruction messages are displayed.
Press Start to beginn.
Rotate the knob slowly counter
clockwise.
Rotate the knob slowly
clockwise.
Calibration finished.
After the calibration process is complete, the user can read and save the
calibration parameters stored on the microcontroller.
In the panel are displayed only the final parameters used for angle
calibration. By clicking “Open Last File”, the user can access the full
parameters list stored on a csv file at every “Read and Save”.
The example in Figure 4 shows the calibration parameters amplitude, offset and
non-orthogonality of TLE5309(D) sensor. The X value corresponds to the cosine
output while the Y value corresponds to the sine.
The GMR sensor is placed on the top and the AMR sensor on the bottom of the
package. The bottom sensor is in flipped configuration compared to the top
sensor in TLE5x09A16(D) dual die variants.
Files are saved in
the computer: “C:\Users\
3.5 TLE5x09A16(D) sensor panel
The TLE5x09A16(D) eval kit displays real-time angle values.
After the sensor is fully calibrated, the calibrated angle value will be
displayed.
The user can click and pin a cursor in the signal chart. If the checkbox
“Enable Cursor Snap” is checked, the cursor will point to the nearest signal
value. The cursor value is displayed in the right corner box.
The user can also zoom into the chart by using mouse scroll.
3.6 Sensor config
panel
This panel can be accessed while data acquisition is stopped at Settings →
Sensor Config.
The user can select a predefined acquisition rate for the sensor data read.
Lowering the rate will reduce the required processing power (on the
microcontroller and computer).
3.7 TLE5x09A16(D) saved
sensor acquired data
All sensor acquired data can be saved in a csv file, by pressing “Save” button
from the sensor panel.
