1. Introduction

The Si114x control panel application enables the user to configure an Si1140DK or an IRslider2EK board quickly

and operate it in a way that is representative of the end application. The application enables ambient-light sensing

and proximity detection. The only Si114x features not supported are interrupt-driven accesses and autonomous

measurements. Instead, the application initiates forced measurement cycles asynchronously and performs

statistical computations (average and standard deviation) on the measurement results.

2. Getting Started

Upon startup, the user sees the following panel:

The Dashboard tab groups the main controls and results the user will be using for configuration and measurement.

The other tabs contain additional settings required for proximity, ambient light and auxiliary measurements.
