System Monitoring Tab
The
System Monitoring
tab is the first tab displayed when opening the GUI. This tab
allows monitoring the instantaneous current measurement and the accumulated
charge and also to set the charge rationing threshold (by entering a number in the
corresponding box) and the current limit for each port (by selecting one of the values
from the drop-down list).
When the Automated Current Sampling is on and the portable devices are attached to
Port 1 and/or Port 2, the GUI shows the current measurements over time as shown in
(blue plot).
