The Tap and Double Tap signalize short taps and
double taps on each system electrode. The Tap length
and Double Tap interval are adjustable.
- Single Tap Delay: A Single Tap is detected
when touching the surface of an electrode
first and after the hand is pulled out of the
touch area. The Single Tap is only detected
when the timing between the touch and the
release of the touch event is smaller than the
adjusted delay. Increasing the time allows the
user more time to perform the tap. The range
for the adjusted delay can be between 0s and
1s.
- Double Tap Delay: The double tap is detected
when two taps are performed within the
adjusted delay. The range for the adjusted
delay can be between 0s and 1s. The smaller
the selected delay is, the faster the two taps
have to be executed.

Gesture Port
The Gesture Port enables a flexible mapping of Colibri
Suite feature events to certain output signals at defined
MGC3130’s pins. The individual feature events can be
mapped to one of five EIO Pins and trigger a variety of
signal changes (Permanent high, Permanent low, Tog-
gle, Pulse (5 ms), High Active, Low Active). The Ges-
ture Port simplifies and enhances embedded system
integration.
