The XEN1210 evaluation kit family enables the user to quickly become familiar with the performance of the XEN1210 device. It is a plug and play solution connected by USB to a computer. After installment of the software and drivers you can start the program and choose from 3 different demos, a 3D compass in the base kit, current extension demo and a position sensor demo.
The base XEN1210 evaluation kit consists of USB-bus interface board, a 3D compass demo board, a micro connection cable, a USB cable and evaluation software. The full kit has two extra demos, a position sensor demo and an electrical current sensing demo.
There is an extension board available that can be used as current measurement demo. The magnetic field generated by the current in a single wire is magnetically measured by two XEN1210s. The demo shows that currents as low as 1mA can be measured, while the maximum current is determined by the wires capacity
There is an extension board available for the evaluation kit that shows several rotational position and speed setup. It consists of a central rotating magnet, with a single pool pair and eight XEN1210 sensors. The sensors are placed in different configurations in order to read out the sine and cosine signals of the rotating magnet
