10.10 Monitor

When the Monitor screen (Figure 10-10) is selected, the screen changes to display real-time data of the parameters that are measured by the device. This screen provides access to:

  • Graphs of Vout, Iout, Vin, Pout, and Temperature
  • Start and Stop Polling which turns ON or OFF the realtime display of data
  • Quick access to On/Off Config
  • Control pin activation and OPERATION command
  • Margin control
  • Clear Fault: Selecting Clear Faults clears any prior fault flags.

With two devices stacked together, the Iout reading is the total load supported by both devices. There is also an Iout which shows the current in each phase.
