Some of the tasks performed with the GUI include:
- Turn on or off the power supply output, either through the hardware control line or the PMBus operation command.
- Monitor status registers. Items such as input voltage, output voltage, output current, temperature, and warnings and faults are continuously monitored and displayed by the GUI.
- Configure common operating characteristics such as VOUT, UVLO, soft-start time, warning and fault thresholds, fault response, and ON/OFF.
