1 E1106 Overview
1.1 Introduction
This kit is designed for the evaluation and development of applications using the QT1106 IC. The
kit includes evaluation assemblies (E1106 – see Figure 1), cables and QT1106 Demo software.
Each E1106 assembly has a serial (USB) interface allowing connection to a computer fo r control
and data viewing via QT1106 Demo computer software.
This unique IC allows designers to create speed or volume controls, using a wheel/slide r and keys
as the interface on the panel of an appliance or personal electronic device.
Refer also to the QT1106 datasheet.

2 Setting Up the E1106
To prepare the E1106 for use, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the E1106 control board to the QWheel or QSlide evaluation assembly, ensuring
correct orientation of the connector (see Figure 2).
2. Using the USB cable provided, connect the E1106 control board to the computer (see
Figure 2). The LED on the E1106 is lit constantly to indicate that there is power to the board.
3. Install the QT1106 Demo software; either method is acceptable:
a. Put the supplied CD in the CD drive of the computer. Copy the contents of the CD to the
computer. Double-click the QT1106 Demo software to open it.
OR
E1106 User Manual
b. Go to www.qprox.com
, point to the Support tab and click Download Archive. Click
Software and then the QT1106 Demo link. A dialog box appears asking if you want to run
or save the file that you are about to download. Click Run. This automatically downloads
the software.
If a dialog box appears saying “The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want
to run this software?” click Run.
4. QT1106 Demo software is displayed on the computer monitor (see Figure 3, page 5).
Note: the E1106 QWheel and QSlide assemblies are supplied with a grounded transp arent
backplate that allows the assemblies to be operated while being handheld, without requiring
recalibration. The backplate can be removed if required.

3 QT1106 Demo Software
3.1 Introduction
QT1106 Demo software is used with the E1106 evaluation assembly. With QT1106 Demo software
you can send commands and see the effect that changing pa rameters has (see Section 3.2
onwards).
Numerical Indicator
Shows the numerical equivalent
of the last reported touch position
(see Page 6)
Wheel/Slider Indicator
Shows the last reported
touch position
