HYPERTERMINAL COMMUNICATION
The PC HyperTerminal can be used to verify communication
with the UART serial interface and read back the ID string of the
ADE71xx/ADE75xx/ADE51xx/ADE55xx on the evaluation
board. The HyperTerminal is also a useful troubleshooting tool
for verifying successful communication between the EVAL-
ADE7169EBZ-2/ADE5169EBZ-2 and the PC.
Connect the USB-to-UART board to both P2 of the EVAL-
ADE7169EBZ-2/ADE5169EBZ-2 and the USB connection on
the PC. Prior to using the USB-to-UART board, install the
associated drivers (see the Installing the USB-to-UART Board
(ADE8052Z-DWDL1) Driver section for details). Apply power
to the evaluation board by using the 9 V dc supply. To establish
communication with the PC HyperTerminal, follow these steps:
1.
Click the
Start

Following these steps confirms that the ADE71xx/ADE75xx/
ADE51xx/ADE55xx is powered up correctly and that communica-
tion has been established between the EVAL-ADE7169EBZ-2/
ADE5169EBZ-2 and the PC via the USB-to-UART serial
interface.
