Hi Karthik,

Thank you for posting to the Sensors forum!

Please see the following application note regarding Ultrasonic Sensing for Fluid Identification and Contamination and let me know if this was able to help answer your question.

Hi Karthik,

If you download the GUI for this board (TDC1000-TDC7200EVM GUI), there should be a folder called Firmware which you can reference.
