LDC1000EVM: evmSampleDeltaMs and logDeltaMs values in data files of Sensing Solutions EVM GUI

Part Number: LDC1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LDC1612, LDC1614, LDC1312, LDC1314, LDC1101, LDC2112, LDC2114

Dear,

Could you please explain me what represent evmSampleDeltaMs and logDeltaMs values in data files ?

If this represent time betwin samples, why does it fluctuate?

Thank you for your answear,

Best regards

PORTE Florian

  • Hello Florian,
    due to the chosen firmware framework, it is unfortunately not possible to keep the readback time between samples perfectly constant. You would need to write your own firmware framework to keep the delay between samples constant.
    Furthermore, please keep in mind that the sample rate of the LDC1000 is a function of the oscillation frequency which varies as metal approaches the sensor.

    Please note:
    The LDC1000 is the most suitable LDC for metal type identification applications. For other applications, our newer devices offer many advantages over the LDC1000:

    The high-resolution multi-channel LDCs (LDC1612, LDC1614) are L-only devices which offer greatly improved measurement accuracy, better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, easier design integration, and multiple channels.
    The mid-resolution multi-channel LDCs (LDC1312, LDC1314) are L-only devices which offer better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, easier design integration, and multiple channels.
    The high-resolution, high-speed LDC1101 supports both L- and RP-measurements, greatly improved measurement accuracy, better part-to-part variation, lower power consumption, and easier design integration.
    The LDC2114 and LDC2112 include internal algorithms optimized for inductive touch interfaces and provide extremely low supply current in a compact footprint.
