The Teridian Semiconductor Corporation (TSC) 78M6612 AC-PMON Evaluation Board is an electrical measurement unit for performing measurements from a single electrical outlet. It incorporates the TSC 78M6612 single-phase, dual-outlet, power and energy measurement IC. The AC-PMON Evaluation Board is connected to PC through a USB cable such as one provided in the demo kit package. The Evaluation Board demonstrates the capability of the 78M6612 energy meter controller chip for measurement accuracy and overall system use.
The board is pre-programmed with demo firmware (file name 6612_OMU_S2_URT_V1_13.hex) in the flash memory of the 78M6612 IC that allows evaluation of the capability of the IC.
Included with the AC-PMON is a Windows based Graphical User Interface (GUI) for simplified access to the following measurement data and controls:
• Power, current, voltage and power factor indicator dials
• Adjustable display scales
• Minimum and peak parameter tracking
• Selectable strip chart display format
• Narrow-band versus Wide-band measurement
• Selectable sample size averaging
• Accumulated energy usage and expense tracking
• Line frequency
• Alarm indicators
• Programmable Alarm thresholds
• Data log to file
Alternatively, the user can directly query the device with the command set using HyperTerminal and the provided 6612_OMU_S2_URT_V1_13 Firmware Description Document.
