Tool simplifies integration of touch technology

Atmel has launched Atmel Qtouch Studio 4.3, a touch design software tool engineered to support the complete touch design flow.

The Atmel Qtouch Studio 4.3 is a free software application that provides real-time tuning, validation, debug, and visualisation of touch interfaces.

The Touch Validation Wizard in Atmel Qtouch Studio 4.3 helps assess design quality by reporting capacitance, noise and reference levels, as well as notifying the user of design marginalities.

The software tool is said to be easy to use, meaning design engineers do not need an expert level of understanding of touch technologies to quickly and effectively integrate touch functionality into their applications.

Atmel Qtouch Studio 4.3 supports real-time tuning of the touch sensors, permanent storage of the tuned configuration data into the flash memory, design validation, and debug of the touch interface.

Engineers can now expand their sensor and manufacturing supply chain by qualifying their systems for multiple material suppliers or contract manufacturers, while testing the performance of the touch interface during development or in production.

The Atmel Qtouch Studio 4.3 supports Atmel AVR 8- and 32-bit and ARM microcontroller devices.

This software tool can also be used with the Atmel touch evaluation and development kits, including the QT600.

The Atmel Qtouch Studio 4.3 software is supported by Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
