3.3.5.3.3 Running the Code

Use the following steps to run the code for Lab 3:

  1. Use the test setup shown in Section 3.3.1.
  2. Run the project by clicking TIDA-010086 from the menu bar.
  3. In the watch view, check if BT4CH_InputVoltageSense_V is from 12V to 15V in the Expression Window.
  4. Set the following parameters from the Expression Window:
    • Set BT4CH_userParam_chX->Relay_ON to 1 to enable the output relay
    • BT4CH_userParam_V_I_chm->iref_A = 15.0
    • Set the BT4CH_userParam_chX->en_bool = 1
    • See Figure 3-23 for the Expression Window settings
  5. The BT4CH_measureVI_chX variable shows output current and voltage of the DC/DC converter. Ibatsense_A display value is close to iref_A with ±1mA error.
  6. Figure 3-24 shows the SFRA setup to measure Open-Loop Voltage Control Frequency Response.
  7. Click on the Run SFRA icon from the SYSCONFIG page. The SFRA GUI pops up.
  8. Select the options for the device on the SFRA GUI; for example, for F28P65x, select Floating Point. Click on the Setup Connection button. In the pop-up window, uncheck the boot-on-connect option and select an appropriate COM port. Click the OK button. Return to the SFRA GUI and click the Connect button.
  9. The SFRA GUI connects to the device. A SFRA sweep can now be started by clicking the Start Sweep button. The complete SFRA sweep takes a few minutes to finish. Once complete, a graph with the measurement appears, as shown in Figure 3-25.
  10. The Frequency Response Data is saved in the project folder, under an SFRA Data Folder, and is time-stamped with the time of the SFRA run.
  11. After finishing the lab, set the following parameters from the Expression Window to stop the code:
    • BT4CH_userParam_V_I_chm->iref_A = 0
    • Set the BT4CH_userParam_chX->en_bool = 0
    • Set the BT4CH_userParam_chX->Relay_ON to 0 to disable the output relay
    • Terminate the program
