1. About QE for Capacitive Touch

1.1 Summary

QE for Capacitive Touch[RA,RL78] is an assistance tool for applications and operates under the e2 studio
integrated development environment. In the development of an embedded system based on an RA-family or
RL78-family MCU that incorporates the capacitive touch sensing unit (hereafter the CTSU), this product
facilitates the easy initialization of touch interfaces and tuning of their sensitivity, thus reducing development
times.

To use QE for Capacitive Touch[RA,RL78], you will first need to add a project for the RA family or RL78
family MCU and the capacitive touch sensor-related CTSU driver and Touch middleware. In addition, QE for
Capacitive Touch[RA,RL78] can easily set pin assignment for use with capacitive touch sensors in
conjunction with Smart Configurator.

1.2 Functions

The three functions below make it easy to develop applications that involve capacitive touch sensors.

1. Creating touch interface configurations

2. Tuning

3. Monitoring and parameter adjustment

1.3 New Functions

1.3.1 RL78/G23 is now supported

This product can now be used in a project for an RL78/G23 device. For details, please refer to the help
for QE for Capacitive Touch[RA,RL78] V1.3.0.

1.4 Supported Environment

Windows 8.1, and Windows 10
Renesas e2 studio 2021-04 (or later)
* If you are using a version of the e2 studio earlier than 2021-04, please update it to 2021-04 or later.
