Demoboard and Software Operation Manual
5 AS5013 Evaluation Software
Once the AS5013-DB demoboard has been correctly calibrated, the evaluation can start. The software has three tabs:
5.1 Mouse Control Tab
The AS5013 Evaluation Software includes a mouse emulator, enabled by default. Moving the knob on the demoboard
will control the mouse with progressive speed: small knob movements will move the mouse slowly, large mouse
movements will move the mouse with a high speed velocity.
The left mouse click is emulated by Button 1, and right mouse click by Button 2.
Figure 3. Mouse Control Tab
Graph: Shows the position of the knob graphically from the HID XY data (standard joystick coordinates).
The range -33,000 ~ +33,000 is the translation from EasyPoint™ coordinates (8-bit) to Windows HID driver (16-bit).
Disable Mouse Emulator: Checking this box will disable the mouse emulator.
Hall Push Button: The software reads the C1..C5 hall elements and convert them to a “Delta” value by an
algorithm.
When pressing the EP button, the magnetic field increases, and thus increases the Delta value. Delta is
compared to a Threshold value (see the next Tab “Advanced”).
When Delta > Threshold, it is considered as a push state. The PC software can be configured to use the
standard EP button or the Hall Push button as HID button 1.
The Hall push function is active only when the XY coordinate registers are in the “Active area”, defined by the
values y pos, y neg, x pos, x neg. When XY coordinate is outside the active area, the Hall fush function is
always off.
