MAX30207 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX30207 evaluation (EV) system provides a single
platform to evaluate the MAX30207, a +/-0.1°C accurate
temperature sensor. The EV system consists of two
boards connected through headers, a MAX32630FTHR
microcontroller board, and the MAX30207_INTERFACE_
EVKIT board. The EV system also includes a MAX30207_
SENSOR_FLEX_EVKIT flex module that holds the
MAX30207 IC. The MAX32630FTHR contains the firmware necessary to use the PC GUI program and provides
power to the MAX30207 interface board. The MAX30207
interface board ships with jumpers preinstalled to allow
quick evaluation of the MAX30207.

The EV kit is tested and shipped in three pieces. Follow
these steps to assemble and verify board operation:
● Fully Assembled and Tested
1)
Plug the MAX32630FTHR into the MAX30207_INTERFACE_EVKIT_A.
2)
Connect the MAX30207_SENSOR_FLEX_EVKIT_A
to J11 on the interface board, ensuring the contact
pads are on the bottom.
3)
Set the EV kit hardware on a non-conductive surface
to ensure nothing on the PCBs short together.
4)
Connect the EV kit hardware to a PC with the provided USB cable. Attach the micro-USB end to the
MAX32630FTHR. The other end to the PC. LED D1
on the MAX32630FTHR begins blinking blue.

Microsoft Windows automatically begins installing
the necessary device driver. Once the driver installation is complete, a Windows message appears
near the system icon menu, indicating the hardware
is ready to use. Do not attempt to run the GUI prior
to this message. To do so, close the application and
restart it once the driver installation is complete. On
some versions of Windows, administrator privileges
are required to install the USB device.
Detailed Description of Software
Software Startup
If the EV system is connected when the software is
opened, the software first initializes the hardware to communicate. The software then reads the device registers
and updates all the associated control fields displayed on
the GUI.
If the EV system is not connected on start-up, the GUI
starts and displays no devices in the Devices section
of the GUI and no temperature reading in the Selected
Device section. The status bar at the bottom of the GUI
states Not Connected.
6)
Once the device drivers are installed, download the
EV kit software from www.maximintegrated.com/
evkit-software (MAX30207EVKitSoftwareInstall.ZIP)
and extract it to a temporary folder.
7)
Open the extracted ZIP folder and double-click the
.EXE file to run the installer. If a message box stating
‘The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure
you want to run this software?’ appears, select Yes.
Once an EV system is connected, the GUI automatically
sets the device registers and begins taking temperature
measurements.
8)
When the installer GUI appears, click Next. Select
the installation paths and if a shortcut should be created on the desktop. When prompted, press Install.
Once complete, click Close.
9)
If a shortcut is created, double-click on the created
shortcut to start the GUI. Alternatively, go to Start |
All Programs. Find the MAX30207EVKitTool folder
and click on the MAX30207EVKitTool.EXE file inside
the folder.
The ToolStrip menu bar (Figure 1) is located at the top
of the GUI window. This bar comprises the File, Device,
Logging, and Help menus, the functions of which are
detailed in the following sections.
10) When the GUI appears, the text in the right field of
the bottom status bar displays Connected. If the
GUI displays Not Connected, ensure the flex PCB is
properly connected and power-cycle the MAX30207
EV Kit.
ToolStrip Menu Bar
File Menu
The File menu contains the option to exit the GUI program.
Device Menu
The Device menu connects or disconnects an EV system
to the GUI. If a board is disconnected while the GUI is
open, the GUI displays Hardware Not Connected in the
lower right corner. If the device is then plugged back in,
navigate to the Device menu and select Connect. If successful, the bottom right corner of the GUI reads Device
Connected.

MAX30207 Evaluation Kit
Logging Menu
The only logging option is MicroSD Logging. MicroSD
logging operates the EV kit without a connection to a
host PC or power supply. First, insert a microSD card
into the connector at the bottom of the MAX32630FTHR.
For logging under battery powered, after selecting the
logging interval and writing the selection to the microSD
card (Figure 3), connect a 3.7V lithium-ion battery with
a JST PH connector to the MAX32630FTHR and then
disconnect the board from the host PC. Refer to the
MAX32630FTHR documentation for details on connecting
a Li+ battery. Press SW2 on the MAX32630FTHR board
to start (LED D1 blinking red) saving measurements to
the SD card. Pressing SW2 again (LED D1 blinking blue)
stops measurements. To transfer the logged data from the
MicroSD card to a file on a PC, reconnect the MAX30207
EV kit to the PC and select microSD card logging from
the Logging menu. Select the ‘Save to File’ option and a
prompt appears to name the log file (Figure 2). For subsequent logging sessions, press ‘Clear Log’ on the ‘Setup
MicroSD Logging’ screen to prevent multiple data sets
being recorded to the same log file. Data logging can also
be accomplished by using ‘Save’ in the ‘Plot’ tab.
Help Menu
The Help menu contains information to aid with any problems in the use of the GUI. About displays the GUI splash
screen indicating the GUI version being used.

Tab Control
The main interface structure of the GUI consists of the
General, Plot, and Register Map tabs, where each tab
contains controls relevant to various blocks of the device.
General Tab
The General Tab (Figure 4) displays a general overview
of the MAX30207. The tab provides a list of devices connected, temperature data for a selected device, as well as
controls for select registers.
Plot Tab
The Plot tab plots the measured data for a single
MAX30207 temperature sensor (device), or a list of devic-
Evaluates: MAX30207
es connected by selecting the device using the check
box in the plot column. Use ‘Plot Duration’ and ‘Sample
Temperature Every’ to set the plot duration and sample
rate, then click ‘Start’ (Figure 5). The other function of
the plot tab is to log the temperature data that provides a
way to export each data sample being measured by the
device. After the plot is started, click ‘Save’ to save the
plotted data to a file. A prompt then appears to choose a
name for the comma-separated value (CSV) log file, as
well as the location to save the generated file. Figure 6
shows the log file format. Click ‘Reset’ to clean the buffer and prevent multiple data sets being recorded to the
same log file.

Register Map Tab
The Registers Map tab (Figure 7) provides more direct
access to the internal registers of the MAX30207. From
this tab, read the contents of individual registers and
manually enter the desired bit settings using a write
operation. For the register address selected in the table,
the bit values are displayed at the bottom of the tab and
visualized as bold or non-bold bit names. When a bit is
Evaluates: MAX30207
bold, its value is 1. Otherwise, the bit is 0. Full descriptions of each bit are available in the table on the right for
quick reference. Pressing Read reads the selected register. Pressing Read All reads all registers and updates
their values in the Registers tab. To write to a register, set
the desired bit values by clicking on the bit names to make
bold or non-bold, and then select Write.

MAX30207 Evaluation Kit
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX30207 EV kit provides a single platform to evaluate the functionality and features of the MAX30207. The
board contains jumpers to test the MAX30207 under several conditions. A list of all jumpers and their respective
functions is available in Table 1.
The EV system utilizes the MAX32630FTHR CortexM4F Microcontroller for wearables to interface with the
GUI and optionally provide power to the MAX30207.
The MAX32630FTHR operates either from a host PC or
directly from a Li+ battery. If an SD card is present in the
MAX32630FTHR, pressing SW2 on the MAX32630FTHR
initiates measurements and saves log files to the SD card.
Logging is stopped by pressing SW2 a second time.
Powering the EV Kit
The MAX30207 EV kit is powered directly from the
MAX32630FTHR through either a lithium-ion battery or
a USB to Micro-USB cable. J3 must be connected to the
1.8V option to supply power from the MAX32630FTHR.
J9 and J10 can be used to connect the interface
board, through wires, to another board that contains the
MAX30207 IC.
