1 Introduction

The Time-of-Flight (hereafter referred to as ‘ToF’) EVM demonstration kit provides a way to evaluate

ToF optical sensor(s) from ams AG. This document is a basic user guide to the setup and operation of

the ToF EVM software.

1.1 Kit Content

Below is a checklist of what is included in the ToF EVM kit.

●ToF sensor EVM enclosure and sample glass (some EVMs come without an enclosure)

●USB type A to micro-USB cable(s)

●USB flash drive with EVM GUI software

●EVM documentation (including this guide)

TMF8828 EVM

As TMF8821 is a superset of the functions of TMF8820, ams recommends to use the TMF8821 EVM

for evaluating the performance of TMF8820 and TMF8821.

The TMF8828 is a superset of the TMF8821, ams recommends to use the TMF8828 EVM for

evaluating the performance of TMF8820, TMF8821, and TMF8828.

2 Setting Up the EVM

This section describes the setup steps necessary to start using the EVM software.

2.1 Setting Up the EVM Hardware

The ToF sensor enclosure is already assembled and ready to plug in to a PC. The EVM with the

enclosure exposes only one micro-USB connector:

Figure 2:

EVM with Enclosure

On EVMs without enclosure (or if the enclosure has been removed) plug in the micro-USB connector

to the USB connector closer to the center of the Raspberry PI Zero W board (see Figure 3)

2.1.1 Install the EVM USB Windows (one-time only)

When the EVM is plugged into the PC Windows should recognize the EVM as a “Removable Disk”. If

your PC does not automatically install the necessary USB driver, the mountable drive contains USB

drivers for both Windows and Mac. Install this necessary USB driver:

●ams_raspirndis_setup.exe

This step is only necessary during first-time setup, but will need to be repeated if using the EVM

software on a new PC.

3.1 Controls for All Tabs

3.1.1 Menu

The global menu contains these entries:

"File" Menu

●"Save Configuration" - save all EVM GUI settings (control values)

●"Load Configuration" - loads all EVM GUI settings (control values)

●"Exit" - leave the EVM GUI

"Help" Menu

●"About Dialog" - shows version information and copyright notices

3.1.2 Main Tab Selector [1]

Select your view context here:

●The "Main" tab shows histograms (also in a histogram matrix) and data for the object in the

sensor's field of view as a bar chart (distance and confidence)

●The "3D" tab shows a 3D graphical representation the same object data(distance and

confidence)

●The "Interrupt" tab is similar to the 3D tab and allows you to set object detection parameters

(e.g. relevant object distance)

●You can update the firmware on the EVM module with the "File Upload" tab

3.1.3 Histogram Display Selector [2]

Figure 7:

Histogram Display Selector

You can display histograms either in a combined graph as shown above or separately for each of the

channels by selecting "Histogram Matrix".
