Figure 3-1. TMAG5x73 EVM With A1 and A2 Parts of Board Still Joined Together

To set up and use the EVM, follow these steps:
1. Gently flex the panel at the score line shown in
factor. This split provides separate boards for the TMAG5x73A1 and TMAG5x73A2 portions of the original
board.
2. Download and install the driver as a one-time step per PC:
3. Attach the EVM to the Sensor Control Board (SCB). To evaluate the TMAG5x73A1 on the EVM, attach
header J1 of the Sensor Controller board to header J1_A1 of the EVM (see
TMAG5x73A2 on the EVM, attach header J1 of the Sensor Controller board to header J1_A2 of the EVM
(see Figure 4-2).
4. Use a USB cable to connect the SCB to a PC
a. Insert the micro USB cable into the USB receptacle J2 that is on the SCB Controller onboard.
b. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a PC.
5. Access the GUI in either the Google Chrome
dev.ti.com/gallery/info/7472171/TMAG5x73EVM_GUI/ver/2.0.0/
6. To quickly view results on the GUI, do the following:
a. Modify the MAG_CH_EN bits in the SENSOR_CONFIG_1 register to enable the desired channels
to read from. The GUI has drop-down boxes to configure these bits when the SENSOR_CONFIG_1
register is selected in the register tab of the GUI.
b. Select the desired result plots under the Results to collect/show box in the Results Data tab, and press
Collect Data to trigger the read.
These two steps are the minimum steps needed to see results in the GUI. However, this assumes that the
default register settings are used for the other registers. For more custom settings, modify the corresponding
register bits according to the system requirements.
7. Apply a magnetic field to the sensor by doing one of the following:
a. Wave the included handheld magnet around the sensor.
