Tools Menu
The
Tools
menu, located in the menu bar in the upper-left corner of the XTR108EVM-USB software,
contains additional features useful for debugging or troubleshooting. The following sections explain the
use of each option within the
Tools
menu.
5.6.1
Control Bits
The
Control Bits
window, as shown in
, enables manual control of the signals that enable and
disable the XTR108EVM Interface Board relays. The control signals are off when the control is equal to '0'
and are on when the control is equal to '1'. The functionality of each control bit is given by
Figure 30. GPIO Control Window

BIT
FUNCTION
NOTES
CTRL1
Enables current
measurement relay
When CTRL1 is enabled, the voltage measurement and resistance measurement
relays are disabled by circuit protection logic
CTRL2
Enables voltage
measurement relay
When CTRL1 is enabled, the voltage measurement and resistance measurement
relays are disabled by circuit protection logic
CTRL3
Enables resistance
measurement relay
When CTRL1 is enabled, the voltage measurement and resistance measurement
relays are disabled by circuit protection logic
CTRL4
Enables RTD_UNDER
relay
Enabling multiple RTD relays causes the resistances of each enabled RTD Emulator
channel to be connected in parallel
CTRL5
Enables RTD_MIN relay
Enabling multiple RTD relays causes the resistances of each enabled RTD Emulator
channel to be connected in parallel
CTRL6
Enables RTD_MID relay
Enabling multiple RTD relays causes the resistances of each enabled RTD Emulator
channel to be connected in parallel
CTRL7
Enables RTD_MAX relay
Enabling multiple RTD relays causes the resistances of each enabled RTD Emulator
channel to be connected in parallel
CTRL8
Enables RTD_OVER relay
Enabling multiple RTD relays causes the resistances of each enabled RTD Emulator
channel to be connected in parallel
