Ultrasonic Sensing Design Center Release Notes
Table of Contents
Introduction
The ultrasonic design center is a one stop resource for everything related to ultrasonic sensing technology using MSP430™ microcontrollers (MCUs). It includes tools, graphical user interface (GUI), documentation, software library and application examples for developers to get started with project developments. The ultrasonic design center GUI is a rapid development tool for configuring and customizing various parameters related to transducers, pipe size as well as analyzing and capturing waveforms.
This is version 02.30.00.03 of Ultrasonic Sensing Design Center.
Features
- Provides API set for ultrasonic sensing on the MSP430FR604x device family
- Provides ultrasonic sensing design center for GUI-based tuning and visualization of library functionality
- Provides examples for out-of-the-box integration with application code and GUI configuration The MSP430 MCU gas library (MSP-GASLIB) provides the means to configure the internal ADC for ultrasonic captures and help to integrate it with the application software for ultrasonic gas metrology applications. The library also takes advantage of LEA module in MSP43FR599x devices to compute time of flight (ToF) measurement

- EVM430-FR6047
Known Issues
- Configuration parameter
algorithmsConfig.dcOffset
is only applied to VFR calculation. If users want to apply the same correction to DToF calculation it has to be done at the application level.
