ZMOD4410
Evaluation Kit
The
ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit
evaluating Renesas' ZMOD4410 Gas Sensor Module
for Indoor Air Quality. The total volatile organic
compounds (TVOC) measurement is one of the
indicators for indoor air quality (IAQ). In addition,
measurement modes are provided to measure the
Relative IAQ based on the air quality change, and to
discriminate sulfur odors.
Note: This document supports the waterproof and
non-waterproof ZMOD4410 EVKs.
The Gas Sensor Evaluation Software allows
®
Windows
-based operating systems to communicate
with the ZMOD4410 EVK via a USB connection on
the user's computer, which functions as a master.
The software and additional related documentation
are available on the
Renesas
The EVK's Communication Board (HiCom) handles
the interface between the user's computer and the
ZMOD4410 module mounted on the ZMOD4410
Sensor Board ("daughter board").
Note: Only one Communication Board with one
Sensor Board can be connected to the computer at a
time.
The ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit uses an FTDI
controller on the Communication Board to handle the
USB protocol, translate communications, and
synchronize communications with the I
The Sensor Board includes a decoupling capacitor;

however, I
C pull-up resistors are not assembled and
are mounted on the Communication Board.
The Communication Board has devices mounted on
both sides. The components on the top side generate
a stable supply voltage. A potentiometer can be used
to adjust the internal supply voltage in the typical
range from 1.8V to 3.6V. Alternatively, the user's
external supply voltage can be used. The intensity of
the adjacent LED is proportional to the supply
voltage.

Setup Initial Startup To set up and operate the ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit (EVK) with the ZMOD4410, refer to the ZMOD4410 EVK Quick Start Guide included in the kit. Required or Recommended User Equipment By default, the internal supply voltage for powering the Sensor Board is generated from the USB voltage supplied by the user’s computer via the USB cable.

    To set up the EVK hardware before using the software, complete the following procedure: 1. Refer to Figure 2, Figure 3, and Table 1 to determine the correct jumper settings for the ZMOD4410 Communication Board depending on whether an external supply or the internal voltage supply on the board is used.

    This option allows the loading of previously recorded csv files into the EVK software when having the same csv file column structure. This feature can also be used to compare results of ZMOD4410 EVK software with ZMOD4410 Data Source firmware csv files. It also allows processing of previously recorded csv files with the latest algorithms.
  • Page 10 Description The first measurements of the algorithm will be taken for sensor stabilization (“warm-up”) (for more information, see the ZMOD4410 Datasheet). This field indicates how much time has been completed during this period. Raw sensor signals and algorithm results are shown on the plots during this time, but full Algorithm Result algorithm performance is only given after warm-up.

    Due to some interference between the FTDI, Windows operation system, and the computer’s USB driver, a startup problem may occur on some systems if the EVK is started on a USB 3 port. Renesas recommends using a USB 2.x port for the first initial startup of the EVK. The Gas Sensor Evaluation Software has a debug log file that can be found under: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\GasSensorEvaluation.log".
