Ap Note AN64846 implies there is no Auto Tuning with Fourth Generation Capsense. Is that correct?

Reference: Table 4-3 PSoC 4 Family Features Comparison in AN64846 - Getting Started with CapSense - Rev X on Page 94,

The very bottom row of the first page of Table 4-3 is titled SmartSense Auto-Tuning. That row lists Yes for Third Generation Capsense instances and No for Fourth Generation Capsense instances.

When I design with PSoC 4S products using PSoC Creator, there's still an option to enable Smart Sense, which appears to work.

Please clarify if Table 4-3 is in error, if PSoC Creator is in error or if there's another explanation.

Thanks for keeping PSoC Easy,

Greg
