The

Status bar

at the bottom of the GUI displays information related to the communication state between the Tuner and the device. Some sections differ depending on the communication type as follows:

I2C interface​

RTT interface​

Fields​

  • Scan rate

    – A number of scans performed by the device per second.

  • Packet rate

    – A number of read samples performed by the Tuner per second. The count depends on multiple factors: the selected communication channel, communication speed, and amount of time for a single scan. The Packet rate can be lower or equal to the Scan rate.

  • Bridge status

    – Either Connected, when the communication channel is active, or Disconnected otherwise.

  • Slave address

    (I2C) – The address of the I2C slave configured for the current communication channel.

  • I2C clock

    (I2C) – The data rate used by the I2C communication channel.

  • Mode

    – The data transmission mode:

    • Read/Write – Provides data transmission in two reverse directions: target device → Tuner→ target device. You can change the parameters of the widgets/sensors at run-time. To upload the modified configuration, click the

      Apply to Device

      button.

    • Read only – Provides data transmission in one direction: target device → Tuner. You cannot upload the parameters of the widgets/sensors to the device at run-time. But for the I2C protocol you can still upload parameters that do not require re-initialization.

  • Baud rate

    (UART) – The data rate, at which CAPSENSE™ operates with the current settings.

  • Tuner TCP port

    (RTT) – Used by the Tuner to connect to the RTT server.

  • RTT Server

    (RTT) – Indicates if the RTT server is started locally or on a specific host.

  • Supply voltage

    – The supply voltage.

  • Logging

    – Either ON (when the data logging to a file in progress) or OFF.
