TMAG5273EVM: GUI loses configuration when switching data collection screens

Part Number: TMAG5273EVM


Tool/software:

It seems we are dealing with an intermittent bug that happens very often with the customer, but happened only occasionally with me.

GUI is up and running collecting data. The rotate and push works well. When changing screens to the plots, the "auto read" option switches to off and the device stops collecting data. As I said, it happens very occasionally for me, but it is very consistent with the customer, to the extent it cannot be tested at all. The customer has always used a separate magnet instead of the knob for testing. I could only make the problem occur when using a separate magnet as well, not the knob. I wonder if magnetic field strength is related to the issue. 

Has anyone seen this before? Is there any workaround?

Thank you!

  • Hi Lenio,

    Thank you for posting the Sensors forum!

    When switching the the Plots page, is the customer pressing the Collect Data button? If so, then I would expect the Auto Read to switch to off. If this is the case, are they not seeing any data on any of the plots after pressing Collect Data (assuming that they are pressing this button)?

    Best,

  • Alicia,

    what you describe is what is happening in my setup, so it makes sense. Today the customer tried it with a colleague's PC and everything works. It would be really nice to understand why, but for now we are okay. I suggested to try installing the GUI locally instead of running it online, to see if anything changes.

    Thank you!
