78M6610+LMU Evaluation Kit User Manual 1 Introduction The 78M6610+LMU evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the capability of the 78M6610+LMU for monitoring a single-phase or split-phase AC load using up to two voltages and two currents (sensors included). The EV kit connects to a PC through a USB cable that provides both power and data communication to the board.
10 mA – 20A 46-64 Hz 1.5 Testing the 78M6610+LMU EV Board Prior to Shipping Before every kit is shipped, the board (and sensors) undergo a single-load point calibration using precise energy source equipment. The device temperature is also calibrated at the same time. Results printed out on paper and included with the EV kit.
FTDI USB Driver and Utilities subdirectory on the CD. The FT2232 controller and 78M6610+LMU is powered from the USB cable and is active when no AC power is applied to the sensor interface of the 78M6610+LMU EV Kit.
78M6610+LMU Evaluation Kit User Manual 3 Hardware Setup: Sensor Interface The 78M6610+LMU EV board can be provisioned in multiple configurations. This manual covers common setups for using a shunt, shunt with CT, or two CTs. The board is provisioned and calibrated for the following configuration to retrieve the gain value of the shunt (printed on a label located on the bottom of the board).
The following tables describe the default position of the EV board jumpers and switches for using the on-board shunt current sensor at sensor slot S1.

78M6610+LMU Evaluation Kit User Manual 5 Graphical User Interface (GUI) A graphical user interface (GUI) is included on the 78M6610+LMU EV kit CD to facilitate quick evaluation of the 78M6610+LMU energy measurement device. The GUI requires Microsoft.NET Framework 4 on the PC for which the GUI is to execute on.
78M6610+LMU Evaluation Kit User Manual 5.1.2 Device Tab The Device tab shows to current firmware build as well as the temperature and line frequency being measured. 5.1.3 Direct Tab The Direct tab allows read and write access to all the byte-addressable registers documented in the data sheet.
78M6610+LMU Evaluation Kit User Manual 5.1.4 Configuration Tab The Configuration tab is used to set up the sensor interface. Once this is done it can be saved to NVRAM for future use, or programmed to a user-defined configuration and saved. See the Calibration tab for saving the settings.
78M6610+LMU Evaluation Kit User Manual 5.1.6 Calibration Tab The Calibration tab is used to configure and execute calibration commands. The calibration targets can be viewed and changed and the scaling parameters are also displayed for convenience. The calibration and NVRAM are also saved using the provided button.
78M6610+LMU Evaluation Kit User Manual 5.1.8 Energy Tab The Energy tab displays the accumulated power both into and out of the load. The pull-down menu is used to select the channel that is being displayed; A, B, or C, and update is used to update the displayed data 5.1.9...
