If QTLIB_BURST_AGAIN = 0, multiple measurements are not needed and the user can execute
the host application code. Apart from QTLIB_BURST_AGAIN, various flags are provided to the
user to perform the multiple measurements based on the need of the host application to act to
specific situation. Description of the these flags can be found in the section5.6.5.6
Note: To maintain robustness and timing of the touch sensing measurement, it is recommended
that the user calls the qt_measure_sensors() immediately if the flag QT_BURST_AGAIN=1.
However, the user is allowed to run time- critical section (not more than few instructions) of the
host application comprising on the touch sensing timing.
5.6 QTouch API and Usage
The Atmel QTouch library provides support for many devices. This chapter explains the touch
library for such devices without any hardware support.
5.6.1
This section describes the QTouch library Application Programming Interface (API) for touch
sensing using QTouch and QMatrix acquisition methods.
Using the API, Touch sensors and the associated channels can be defined. Once touch sensing
has been initiated by the user, the host application can use the API to make touch measurements
and determine the status of the sensors.
5.6.2
The touch_api.h header file is the public header file which needs to be included in users
application and it has the type definitions and function prototypes of the API’s listed in sections
5.6.3 , 5.6.4 and 5.6.5
The touch_api.h header file is located in the library distribution in the following directory.
