3.2.1.2 Overview of a GUI Software

Any UART terminal GUI software can be used for the communication between the host PC and the reference design board. Figure 3-3 shows a GUI software, this software has the display window to show the reported working status from the reference design board, the GUI software can also send commands to the board in HEX mode. The supported baud rate is 115200.

The reported board working status includes AC input voltage, DC output voltage, AC input current, AC input power factors, power devices temperatures, heat sink temperature, and power on time. Those data are in ASCII mode.

The commands are:

  • 0x11 is the command to start PFC
  • 0x22 is the command to stop PFC
  • 0x33 is the command to clear errors
