File Menu
The File menu contains the option to exit out of the GUI
program.
Device Menu
The Device menu provides the ability to connect or
disconnect an EV system to the GUI. If a board is
disconnected while the GUI is open the GUI will display
Hardware Not Connected in the lower right corner. If
the device is then plugged back in, the user will be able
to navigate to the Device menu and select Connect. If
successful, the bottom right corner of the GUI will read
Device Connected and display the COM port to which
the hardware is connected.
Options Menu
The Options menu provides several settings to access
more features o󰀨ered by the GUI. Show MAX30001
Register Names changes all the control eld names to
correspond with their register names in the data sheet.
BioZ Milliohm Scale congures the scaling on the
BioZ plot to be shown in milliohms rather than ohms for
a zoomed in display of the BioZ measurement. Plots
Maximum Time allows the user to select how many
seconds of data they want to be shown on the plot at
one time. The selected time will still show 10 divisions
and each division will be 1/10 of the maximum time. By
default, the maximum time is 10 seconds.
Load Register Settings allows the user to quickly set
up the GUI based on previous, saved register settings.
The Save Register Settings item is used to save the
current register settings in order to be loaded again at a
later time. The Show Advanced Tab setting will add an
extra tab in the GUI called Advanced. The advanced tab
is described in depth in the Tab Control section of this
document.
Logging Menu
The Logging menu provides a way to export accurate,
exact data that is being measured by the device. The four
log options are ECG File Log, R-To-R File Log, Pace
File Log, and BioZ File Blog. Selecting any log option
opens a prompt asking for a name for the comma-separated-
value (CSV) log le, as well as the location to save the
generated le. Figure 4 shows the GUI when creating
a log le. Data logging begins when Start Monitor is
pressed on the Plots tab and ends when Stop Monitor
is pushed. The GUI disables logging after one monitoring
session and a new le must be generated through the
Logging menu to log the next dataset.
Help Menu
The Help menu contains information that can be helpful
in aiding with any problems which may arise in the use
of the GUI. Online Documentation takes the user to the
Maxim Integrated website associated with the MAX30001
where all documents that are associated with the part are
located. The About option displays the GUI splash screen
which tells the user which GUI version is being used.
Tab Control
The main interface structure of the GUI consists of a
tab control, where each tab contains controls relevant to
various blocks of the device. Changing these interactive
controls triggers a write operation to the MAX30001 to
update the register contents. Likewise, these controls are
refreshed when reading from the device.
Tabs responsible for conguring measurements contain
block diagrams of their respective channel. To congure a
measurement channel, select the desired values from the
drop down list items in and below the diagram. Switches
in the block diagrams open and close according to the
device conguration.
