Page 5: Hardware Description
CONTENTS PAGE Hardware Description Introduction The AS6031-QF_DK_RB board, shown in figure 3, is a front-end for a water or heat meters. The transducers and temperature sensors can be connected to this board directly. It comes with a 32.768 kHz quartz (X2) and a 8 MHz ceramic oscillator (X1). TP3 –... -
Page 6: Ufc Evaluation Software
CONTENTS PAGE UFC Evaluation Software The software opens with the dashboard window. It should detect the connected board automatically and indicate operability by green status information (1). Figure 5: Dashboard The next steps could be to start with one of the default configurations, an existing project or an existing configuration by loading it into the GUI. - Page 7 CONTENTS PAGE Figure 6: Dashboard active On the left green bar the main measurement results are displayed: chip status, time-of-flight (TOF), difference up-down (TOF Difference), amplitude and pulse width ratio (4). The flags for the measure cycle (5) timer should toggle for an active measurement. The results page will show the detailed ToF results: Figure 7: Results page The ToF results table (6) shows the average of the selected zero crossings per measurement in up...
- Page 8 CONTENTS PAGE The “no. of Avrg.” (9) define the numbers of samples for a software average in the GUI. The number on the right, above Std.Dev. define the number of samples used in the mathematics for the calculation of the standard deviation. The HS Clock block shows the measured period of the high speed clock and the correction factor in comparison to the ideal value.
- Page 9 CONTENTS PAGE In this page you set the fire frequency, derived from the high spedd clock. With the noise mask window you set the time when to switch from sending to receiving. The release delay sets the end of a window to suppress wrong triggers by noise. The first hit level defines the voltage level for the comparator to detect the first hit of the receive burst.
- Page 10 CONTENTS PAGE Besides the numerical display of the result page the software offers an export of the data into a file as well as a graphical display (which could be fond in the graphs page). Figure 10: Graphs page The parameters to be displayed are selectable. By means of the CPU window, any RAM cell can be reported and also graphically displayed.
- Page 11 Note: AS6031F1 is a variant of the AS6031 ultrasonic flow converter that comes with a protected flow firmware by ScioSense already programmed into the NVRAM. Based on these algorithms and together with the appropriate calibration and operation parameters, the chip is ready to do the complete flow and volume calculation as well as error handling on chip.
- Page 12 CONTENTS PAGE For applications with firmware on the chip it is possible to add custom flags according to the firmware. The definition is made in the firmware window. Figure 14: Monitoring Example custom flags If you want to work with firmware on the AS6031 the you need the Firmware window. Figure 15: Firmware window On the main page you can load the files with the firmware hex code and the firmware data (12).
