Step 1: Connecting PSoC™ 6 AI Evaluation Kit with laptop

Connect the PSoC™ 6 AI Evaluation Kit to the laptop or PC through PSoC™ 6 USB connector (J2) using a Type-C USB cable.

Step 2: Creating project in DEEPCRAFT™ Studio

You can create an Empty Graph UX Project or Live Data Collection Starter Graph UX Project containing an example graph. Refer to How to get started with Graph UX? for instructions on creating the Graph UX project.

If you select Live Data Collection Starter Graph UX project to collect data, set up the input node and start collecting data but if you select Empty Graph UX project to collect data, you need to create the data collection graph. Follow the steps below to create the data collection graph.

Step 3: Creating Data Collection and Data Labeling Graph

DEEPCRAFT™ Studio provides the functionality to collect and label the real-time data simultaneously. Let’s set up the Serial Capture unit for collecting data and Predefined unit for labeling data on the canvas.

Setting up the Serial Capture

1. Connect the board to the laptop or PC through PSoC™ 6 USB connector (J2) using a Type-C USB cable.

2. Expand EmptyProject directory and double-click the Main.imunit to open the canvas.

3. Navigate to the Node Explorer window, expand Library> Devices> and drag and drop the Serial Capture unit onto the canvas.

4. Navigate to the Node Explorer window, expand Library> Visualization and drag and drop the Data Track onto the canvas.

5. Goto Serial Capture > Properties and select USB Serial Device port. To check the COM port at which the board is connected, open Device Manager > Ports and look for USB Serial Device.

6. Click on the red icon in the Serial Capture node and drag over to the gray icon in the Data Track node. This creates a connection between the two nodes.

   
   
   

After setting up the Serial Capture, you can utilize the same graph to label the real-time data, by adding a Predefined Labels unit onto the canvas. Define the classes in the Predefined Labels node for one time and utilize the defined classes to label the data on a click of button.

Setting up the Predefined Labels

1. Navigate to the Node Explorer window, expand Library> Meta and drag and drop the Predefined Labels unit onto the canvas. The Predefined Labels unit displays the default classes.

2. Define the classes in Predefined Labels node by entering every class in a new line.

   
   

   After defining the classes, start collecting and labeling data simultaneously.

Step 4: Real-time data collection and data labeling

1. Navigate to the toolbar and click the Start button to open the session file (main.imsession). An empty session file opens displaying the pre-defined classes in the Labels bar.

2. Click the Record button to start capturing the real-time data.

   
   
   

3. In the Labels bar, select a class to start adding labels to the streaming data.

4. Deselect the same class to stop adding the labels. Similarly, you can enable or disable the other classes and label the data.

5. Click the Record button to stop collecting the data.

6. Select File > Save to save the session file, data track and label track. The Save New Session window appears.

   
   
   

7. In Location, click the three dot and select the desired location to save the files.

8. In Session Name, enter the name of the session file.

9. Under Track Options, set the following:

   • In Wave Format Encoding, select the encoding format for the audio tracks
   • In Track Name, double-click the column to edit the track name, if required
   • In File Name, double-click the columns to edit the track name, if required

10. Select the save checkbox corresponding to the tracks you want to save.

11. Click OK to save the files.

12. Repeat the instructions from step 2 to collect and save data in multiple session files.
