Introduction
The Programmer Kit is designed to visualize data coming from TLI4970 sensors. It’s also possible to read and
write the sensor EEPROM. Further, different internal register of the connected TLI4970 can be read and written.
This document will only describe the graphical elements of the Programmer Kit and will not describe any meaning
of a register nor explains how the sensor is working. Details about the functionality of the sensor are given in the
corresponding data sheet.
Typically, one Programmer Kit contains the following hardware parts, see
1. CDROM including the PC software
2. Programmer PGSISI-2
3. External power supply
4. Evaluation Board

The PC software is responsible for visualizing the basic functionality of the TLI4970. Thereby, the PC
communicates with the sensor via a programming interface, i.e. PGSISI-2.
The maximum communication rate between PC and sensor is around 41700 samples per second. The PGSISI-2
periodically requests the actual current value from the sensor and returns the response of the sensor to the PC.
The PC, then, interprets and visualizes the responds.
