The HS4000-EVK Evaluation Kit is used to assess

the HS4001 High-Performance Relative Humidity

and Temperature Sensor. The hardware allows users

to perform data logging experiments, and it can

communicate through a standard USB interface with

the user’s computer using the Demo Software. This

software can be used to view measurements in real-

time, adjust the resolution of the sensor, configure

measurement parameters, and download previously

logged measurements.

The evaluation board can be powered directly from

the USB port of the user’s computer or from a 1632

coin cell battery to enable fully autonomous

(untethered) data logging.

The computer must meet the following minimum systems requirements:

■CPU – Intel or compatible

■RAM – 512MB

■Operating system – Windows®XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10

■Ports – One available USB port

1.1.2. Software Installation and Setup

Complete the following procedure to install the Demo Software:

1. Plug in the USB flash drive to start the setup.

2. If the setup process does not start automatically, double-click on the Setup.exe file.

1.2 Kit Hardware Connections

Complete the following procedure to set up the kit as shown in Figure 3:

1. Install the software from the USB flash drive or download from renesas.com as described in Software

Installation and Setup.

2. Connect one of the HS4001 sensor modules facing up, with or without the extension cable attached, into the

sensor module connector

3. Connect the USB port

of the board to the user’s computer using the supplied USB cable, and ensure

that the power switch

on the board is in the USB position. The “USB” LED

will light.

4. Run the Demo Software package from the Start menu, and click on the “Measure” button

. The

“Measuring” indicator

will blink whenever data is being captured.

2. Using the EVK

2.1 Measurement Settings

To change the interval and number of measurements to be made, select Measurement Settings from the Tools

menu, enter the desired values, and then click OK, as shown in Figure 5. For the range of valid settings for these

two entry fields, see Valid Settings Ranges.

Figure 5. Measurement Settings

To change the measurement resolution, select Set Resolution from the Tools menu, select the desired

resolution, and then click OK, as shown in Figure 6. The resolution setting is stored on the sensor, and it will be

the default value applied when measurements are started. Measurement settings can be changed only when no

measurements are being taken.

2.2 Exporting Data

The data displayed in the plotter area can be exported in two different formats.

■To export the measured data points in a Microsoft Excel®compatible comma-separated text file, select Save

Data from the File menu. Create a filename for the data, and select the location where the file will be saved.

■To export the plots themselves as a picture file, right-click on the plot area and select Save Image As. Create

a file name, select the location, and select the file type for the image.

2.3 Data Logging Mode (Untethered)

Disconnect the kit from the computer. Ensure that a battery is inserted in the battery holder on the back of the

board with the positive battery terminal facing away from the board, as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. Battery Installation

Complete the following to operate the kit in the data logging mode (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).

1. To set the board to the data logging mode, put the power switch

in the “Batt” position.

2. To start data logging, hold the “Start/Stop Logging” button

for 3 seconds. The “Measuring” indicator

will light for 2 seconds and then start blinking on every logged measurement. This can be disabled to extend

the battery life by toggling the “L2 Enable” switch

3. To stop data logging, press the “Start/Stop Logging” button. The “Measuring” indicator blinks 3 times to

indicate the end of data logging.

4. To download the logged data to the Demo Software, connect the USB port

to the computer using the

supplied USB cable, and ensure that the power switch

on the board is in the USB position. The “USB”

LED

will light.

5. In the software, select Data Logging from the Tools menu and click on the Download Data button

shown in Figure 8. The maximum number of measurements that can be stored on the board is 2000.

2.4 Data Logging Settings

To change the data logging measurement interval, select Data Logging from the Tools menu, and then click on

Change Interval. Enter the desired measurement interval, and click OK.

The data logging resolution can be selected in the same method as described in Valid Settings Ranges. Data

logging settings can only be changed when no measurements are being taken.

2.5 Using the Plotter

The plotter

displays the measured relative humidity and temperature data simultaneously versus time (see

Figure 3).

■Hold the left-mouse button, and drag it around an area to zoom onto that area.

■Hold the middle mouse or scroll button, and drag to pan across the plot area.

■To undo a zoom or pan operation, right click on the plot area, and select Un-Zoom (Un-Pan).

■The plot area can always be reset to the default view by right clicking on the plot area and selecting Undo All

Zoom/Pan.

■To display the measurement points on the plotted curves, right click on the plot area and select Show Data

Points. While moving the application window, measurements points will not be plotted.

2.6 Valid Settings Ranges

Measurement settings can be selected within the following ranges:

■Measurement interval: 0.5 to 3600 s

■Number of measurements: 1 to unlimited

■Data logging interval: 1 to 250 s

■Measurement resolution: 8, 10, 12, 14 bits
