Another interesting value can be the velocity. There-
for another display window must be opened and the
Unit has to be changed to Revolution. Now, the dis-
play counts the complete revolutions of the magnet.
Changing the Mode configuration to Unit per second
makes the display showing the velocity of the motor as
revolution per second. There are other display configu-
ration to explore. It is possible to open as many display
windows as desired.
The third tool shows information about the sensor sig-
nal quality. It can be opened by clicking on the tool
button C. The sensor window as shown in Figure 11,
displays electrical characteristic of the sine and cosine
sensor signals. The signal offset, the phase angle, the
signal amplitudes and the common mode voltage can
be examined. These values can be used to calibrate
the iC-MH8 for field application. Due to the measure-
ment algorithm, the periods of the magnet must not
differ too much to get useful information. In case of the
iC-MH8 demoboard, the magnet only has one period.
Figure 10: Dial Window
The tool button A opens a dial to show the actual an-
gle position. To try this feature, the motor should be
disconnected from the power source. The dial win-
dow can be resized to any desired size. When turning
the shaft by hand, the display in the middle of the dial
shows the actual angle. Resolution can be changed by
clicking the control at the bottom of the dial window.
Figure 12: Helpsystem
By clicking on the tool button E, the screen shows the
iC-tools help system. There are information about the
hardware configuration and the software features avail-
able. By hitting the update button at the bottom of the
help page, it is possible to check for software updates.
The windows internet configuration must be setup cor-
rectly to use this feature. If there is a new software ver-
sion available, a message shows where a download of
the newest version can be found.
