1 Introduction
The Teridian™ 78M6631 Evaluation Board is an electrical measurement unit for performing
measurements on a 3-phase AC system. It incorporates the 78M6631 power and energy measurement
device and connects to a PC through a USB cable such as the one provided in the demo kit. The
Evaluation Board demonstrates the capability of the 78M6631 energy meter controller chip for
measurement accuracy and overall system use.
The on-board 78M6631 is pre-programmed with the Firmware Demo
Code.
The 78M6631 energy measurement data and status is read back
over the serial UART interface using a text-based CLI command set (easy
manual operation is performed using HyperTerminal) and through the
serial peripheral interface (SPI).
Refer to the
78M6631 Firmware Description Document
for details about
the firmware and the use of the CLI commands.
