Getting Started
The Chart window provides a visualization of the raw data for a particular touch pad as
a function of time. Pressing Key ‘0’ on the PICDEM Touch Sense 1 Board will cause
the data line to dip providing that parameters are set accordingly as shown in Figure 9.
The resulting data can be stored as a .txt file within the working directory C:\Program
Files\Microchip\mTouch and used for analytical purposes in such spreadsheet
programs as Excel.
To stop recording data from the pad, deselect the check box next to Run.
The Clear button clears the data in the window.
Chart resolution can also be configured by changing the Num Points box value.

The preceding Getting Started guide demonstrated use of the keypad. These same
concepts and tools are applicable to the Directional Pad and Slider. The user is
encouraged to complete the Getting Started guide for both these sections as well.
