Version changes
This section lists and describes the changes for each version of this tool.
| Version | Change descriptions |
|---|---|
| 1.0 | New tool. |
| 1.1 | Added UART interface. |
| Added possibility to save different views as images. | |
| Added zoom and pan functionality for graphs. | |
| Fixed minor issues. | |
| 2.0 | Added "IDAC gain index" parameter. Changed the data storage location from a header (.h) file to an XML-based *.cycapsense file. For backward compatibility, the configurator is still able to load the header (.h) file that contains the legacy format configuration. But, if the legacy header (.h) with the configuration is passed via a command-line parameter, a message appears saying that the .h file is not supported. Added the Import and Export options to the File menu that enable importing and exporting the configuration file from and into the external file. Added the Reset View command to the View menu that resets the view to the default. Added Multi-frequency support that enables selecting RawCount and Baseline. Added the UART option description in Status Bar. Changed generation of the middleware initialization structure according to the changes in CapSense v2.0 middleware (related to added fields for flash memory optimization, fixed defect with RawCount filters config, IDAC gain index, etc.). Added support for selecting multiple sensors in some view and reflecting the selection in other views. Added handling of invalid command line arguments. Added highlighting of modified properties in the property grid with bold. Added a warning if opening a broken configuration file. Fixed memory leaks. Fixed Graph View issues under high load of application. |
| 3.0 | Added the Undo / Redo feature. |
| Changed the list of UART baud-rate possible values to match the values supported by KitProg. The highest rate is 3000000. | |
| 3.10 | Updated versioning to support patches. |
| Added a popup notification when the Apply to device command completes. | |
| Increased the communication speed between the device and Tuner when using the I2C interface. | |
| Improved the tool performance for loading large configurations. | |
| Fixed the issue with applying changes to the device when using the UART communication interface: now, many changes (>16) are applied correctly. | |
| 3.11 | Updated versioning to support the updated backend, for detail, see Device Configurator user guide. |
| 3.15 | Removed from the GUI the possibility to change several UART settings (data bits, stop bits, parity) in order to match KitProg-supported values. The values used: data bits = 8, stop bits = 1, parity = none. |
| Optimized the I2C interface communication to increase the speed. | |
| 4.0 | Added support for the PSOC 4100S Max family. |
| Added support for the CAPSENSE™ Middleware Library 3.0. | |
| Added a CSX touchpad sensor status display on the Graph view. | |
| Logging data from the device: removed the header duplication from the bottom of the pages of the file. | |
| Changed the operation log file location. The new location can be found in the About CapSense Tuner dialog. | |
| 5.0 | Added support for the 5th generation LP CAPSENSETM devices. |
| Added support for the CAPSENSE™ Middleware Library 4.0. | |
| Changed the device library file from xml to props.json. | |
| Added the possibility to use the Tuner with USB UART bridges from other vendors. | |
| Added a set of auxiliary chart commands on the Graph and SNR views. | |
| Added a panel to display widget and sensor parameters description. | |
| 6.0 | Added a ‘Scan rate’ field in the status bar. The ‘Refresh rate’ field renamed to ‘Packet rate’. |
| Added support of UART communication interface for the 5th generation LP devices. | |
| Fixed minor display issues. | |
| Updated information logged in the .log file. | |
| Changed the structure of the packets sent from the device to the Tuner for the 5th generation LP devices. | |
| 6.10 | Added support for RTT communication interface. |
| Fixed the issue with the displaying button gestures. | |
| Improved I2C communication speed. | |
| Added the I2C response delay parameter on the Options tab. | |
| 6.20 | Improved the auto-calibration feature for the MSCLP platform. |
| Added support of CapDAC Auto-Dithering. | |
| Improvement – only relevant gesture parameters display. | |
| Added the ability to switch to UART async mode for LP devices. | |
| Added the editable prefix to the log file. | |
| Updated OpenOCD logging. | |
| Added displayed Sensor/Electrode capacitance. | |
| 6.30 | Minor back-end changes. |
| 6.40 | Minor back-end changes. |
| 7.10 | Added support for ISX sensing method. |
| Added support for Liquid Level widget. | |
| 8.00 | Added support of the PSOC™ 4100T Plus device family. |
| Added scaling CDAC parameters for widgets that use the CSD sensing method. | |
| 8.10 | Added the Power button control. |
| 9.0 | Added multiple sensing profiles support for Liquid Level widget. |
| 10.0 | Added detection of: - liquid presence/absence - tank removal |
| Introduced additional gestures support. | |
| 10.10 | Improved the foam detection algorithm for liquid level sensing. |
