Once your sensor or location driver is installed and your hardware is attached to your PC, the tool immediately recognizes and records your device in the list of available sensors. Instead of writing an application to perform these tests, you can use the Sensor Diagnostic Tool, which ships as part of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).įor example, if your driver development computer is an 圆4-based machine, and you installed the WDK to the default location, then you will find the sensor diagnostic tool in the following folder:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Tools\圆4\sensordiagnostictool.exe The tool invokes the Sensor and Location API to test: Use the Sensor Diagnostic Tool to test your driver, firmware, and hardware functionality. Microsoft recommends using the SensorExplorer to verify the installation of supported sensors. The Sensor Diagnostic Tool was used with previous versions of Windows.
