What are the differences between AuxilliarySenorDesigner (driver) vs CustomSensorDesigner?

I noticed two blocks in InvenSense SensorStudio which appear to be very similar. hey are AuxillarySensorDesign (driver) and CustomSensorDesigner block. What is the difference between the two?

Solution

  • AuxilliarySenorDesigner

    • Connect to device block (and not to sensor block)
    • Does not support emulation
    • Must be used to create driver sensors that get data from hardware (I2C)

    CustomSensorDesigner

    • Connect to one or several sensors block
    • Support emulation
    • Should be used to create virtual sensors that gets data from other sensors in the system and apply some algorithm

    CustomSensor

    • Connect to device block
    • Used to retrieve sensor data from custom sensors from the device (after flashing a firmware)

    Refer to "3.6. DESIGN YOUR SENSOR ALGORITHM", "3.7. SENSOR FRAMEWORK EXPLAINED" and "3.8. DESIGN YOUR SENSOR DRIVER" of 001 - SensorStudio User Documentation.pdf available with your SensorStudio installation
