System Management Software
M1 System Management Board User’s Guide
The System Management software has scrollable, zoomable, and sizeable real-time updated diagrams that enable the
simultaneous monitoring of the voltages, currents, and temperatures throughout the board. You can also set the
thresholds for these variables and log specific events, when they breach a target level. A full range of current capabilities
include the following:
• Event logging with type, time-stamp, and description of each event
• Voltage, current, and temperature monitoring and graphing
• Zoom functions on graph page: zoom in, zoom out, zoom fit, and zoom reset
• Adjustable threshold levels for voltage, current, and temperature
• Internal Flash memory (NVM) address and data screen dump
• Each individual line of raw data displayed in the Comms tab
• Display on board components in GUI: LEDs, push buttons, DIP switches, potentiometer, etc.
• Adjustable, on-board LCD text through GUI
The System Management software can also be used to set the RTC by matching it with the host PC. Logging events are
controlled and monitored through the interface.
The software initially communicates via RS-232 serial communications. Baud rate is selectable from the Comms tab.
The COM port is selectable, but Actel recommends you use COM port 1.
There is limited self-testability in the absence of an actual board. You can use one copy of the software to generate serial
communications traffic and to log that traffic with another running copy.
The user interface is organized in the following tabs
• Board Status: Covering the basic I/O tests and RTC, including real-time voltage, current, and temperature
• Graphs: A set number of labelled graphs to the same time-base, monitoring of board voltages and currents, including
• Event Log: Event logging is displayed here. By uploading the stored event log from the board, you can view the events
• Comms: This tab enables the user to change the baud rate and COM port (COM port 1 is recommended). In this tab,
• Thresholds: The board thresholds can be set for the board supply, PSU supply, temperature, and potentiometer.
monitoring, and internal Flash memory reading.
readings for the heater, PCI, finger pad, regulator, board, and potentiometer.
and their individual warning level, type of event, time of occurrence, and a short description.
you can enable a System Management software test to start/stop reception and transmission of bit sequences for
observation. A raw data window displays the sampled data. This tab contains a continuously updated display of data
sent and received.
