Workbench6 Software

Workbench6 is the integrated development environment (IDE) used with Renesas RX 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) for capacitive touch applications. This IDE allows for easy adjustments with a wizard format, simple operations using an intuitive user interface, and automatically adjusted source code as outputs. Using the Workbench6 automatic calibration tool with Renesas touch key MCUs makes it possible to use a graphical user interface (GUI) to adjust the sensitivity and other settings easily, something that was previously complicated by factors such as the board layout and tracing pattern, the panel material, etc.
