Use Cases
Following use cases depict connection possibilites of digital/analog input/output connectors
and embedded target, and as well iSYSTEM Power Probe for target power consumption
measurement. winIDEA plugin HIL Monitor provides the monitoring and manipulation
capability of the input/output signals. All monitored signals can be also traced wih the
winIDEA Analyzer tool.
1. Observing digital inputs
1. First connect ground potential (GND) of the Digital I/O connector with the monitored
Embedded system ground (GND) using provided clip wires. Note that all eight GND signals
of each Digital I/O connector are internally connected.
2. Use clip wires to connect signals from the Embedded system to the pins of Digital I/O
connector D0 (or D1 or D2 or D3).
3. Configure used Digital I/O connector (D0 or D1 or D2 or D3) for input operation and its
input voltage range in winIDEA. Note that all eight signals of the selected Digital I/O
connector are set as inputs.
Configured input (or output) operation for the individual Digital I/O connector applies to all 8
available digital signals on the connector. Mixing input and output signals within one Digital
I/O connector is not supported.
2. Observing analog inputs
Use standard oscilloscope probes to connect analog inputs AIN0 respectively AIN1 to the
Embedded system.
3. Output analog signal
1. First connect ground potential (GND) of the AOUT0, AOUT1 connector with the Embedded
system ground (GND) using provided clip wires. All five GND signals of the AOUT0, AOUT1
connector are internally connected.
2. Use clip wires to connect AOUT0 respectively AOUT1 pin to the Embedded system.
3. Voltage output range is configured in winIDEA.
4. Output digital signals
1. First connect ground potential (GND) of the Digital I/O connector with the Embedded
system ground (GND) using provided clip wires. All eight GND signals of each Digital I/O
connector are internally connected.
2. Use clip wires to connect signals from the Embedded system to the pins of Digital I/O
connector D0 (or D1 or D2 or D3).
3. Configure used Digital I/O connector (D0 or D1 or D2 or D3) for output operation and its
output voltage range in winIDEA. Note that all eight signals of the selected Digital I/O
connector are set as inputs.
Configured output (or input) operation for the individual Digital I/O connector applies to all 8
available digital signals on the connector. Mixing input and output signals within one Digital
I/O connector is not supported.
