TDC1000-C2000EVM: How to set the GUI and how to connect the two sensors on the tdc1000-c2000 EVM

Zhonghui Xu

Hi team,

Now it is necessary to measure the flow by time difference method. Sensors are configured at both upstream and downstream of the pipeline. Both sensors need to have the function of transmitting and receiving ultrasonic signals. When one sensor transmits, the other sensor receives. The sensor settings are shown in the attached figure (pumt is the sensor). The specific test method is: pumut1 transmit signal, pmut2 receive signal, and then switch to pmut2 transmit signal, pmut1 receive signal. Now I want to know how to set the GUI and how to connect the two sensors on the tdc1000-c2000 EVM to realize this function. I hope the more detailed the better.

Hello Zhonghui,

Thank you for the question I would be glad to assist. I do need more information on the application to help on the setup questions. Is it water flow or gas flow measurement? What frequency of transducer will be used, approximate distance between PMUT1 and PMUT2.

This document offers great information on how to set up, it is for TDC1000-TDC7200 EVM, not the same device but similar principal.

Hi Isaac,

The design is water flow measurement. I installed both the driver and GUI software according to the instruction manual, and then connected to the board, and then opened the GUI interface to prompt this("Unable to execute the vi. you must use LabVIEW full development system to resolve this error").I don't know why.

Best regards,

Hello Zhonghui,

It looks like this issue has occurred before. Try looking into the fix in this post: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/sensors-forum/896751/tdc1000-c2000evm-run-gui-software-with-error-message-the-vi-is-not-executable-pop-up

Let me know if this works for you.

Best,

Isaac
