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)
1: 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
2: You may select the sensor type via the combo-box and start/stop acquisition.
3: Sensor panel – will be displayed aer 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 soware will check the firmware version and flash if it needs to be updated.
The picture will disappear when the process is complete and the device is ready.

3.3 TLE5x09A16(D) sensor panel

Aer 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, oset 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.

Aer 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, oset 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.
Figure 4 Calibration panel
Files are saved in the computer: “C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\InfineonDualAnalogAngleTemp” The calibration procedure is done on the microcontroller with the “Library for One Time Calibration &
Compensation”.

3.5 TLE5x09A16(D) sensor panel

The TLE5x09A16(D) eval kit displays real-time angle values.
Aer 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.
