2.5 How can I evaluate BME688 performance for a specific use case?
The BME AI-Studio is the perfect tool to support you in the quest of finding out whether a specific use case can be
tackled with the BME688 gas sensor. There are the following degrees of freedom that you can vary within the testing
conditions:
Data recording and testing environment
Heater profile configuration
Duty cycle configuration
Algorithm training parameters
In general, the process can be viewed as a careful exploration and an iterative approach. The following procedure has
proven to be very efficient:
2.5.1 Phase I: Doing the first measurements
In the first phase, you just start recording whatever use case you have in mind. On your way of exploring the use case
more and more, you will gain knowledge and sometimes you have to redo some of the measurements. That is very
normal when exploring new use cases.
Please note
Fabric-new BME boards need to undergo an initial stabilization procedure. Please let the board run for at least 24
hours before recording any meaningful data.
A factory-new BME board comes preconfigured with the heater profile HP-354 and the duty cycle RDC-5-10. This
means you can start right away capturing the first data. As a more advanced user, you might want to configure the
board with a selection of different heater profiles.
