PSoC™ Automotive Multitouch evaluation kit guide CY3290-CYAT8168X Kit operation Kit operation This chapter explains the steps to evaluate the CYAT8168X EVK with TTHE and also to bootload the EVK. You must complete the installation procedure explained in “Installation” on page 5 before proceeding. The TTHE software has multiple features and capabilities, such as collecting statistics on sensor data, changing operating modes, or viewing touch events.

TTHE compares the values in its Configurable parameters window with the corresponding values in flash. If there is a mismatch, it asks if you want to continue with the values stored in the flash or want to update the flash with the values that are stored in its configurable parameters window.

This is handled by the signal threshold tuning parameters, which are configurable in TTHE. TTHE will report touches as shown in Figure 13 for fingers (filled circle), whereas gloves are represented by a hatch-filled circle.
