⑤ RAGU^® V 1.0 Operation Screen Explanation

This article explains the operation screens of the RAGU^® software.

●Main GUI
The main screen has the following 4 areas, indicated by the red rectangles (01) to (04) in the screen image.

 (01) ON Switch: Enables access to RAGU
 (02) DUT Control Settings: Input control signals of DUT (motor driver LSI)
 (03) Graph/Plot Area: Graphs and measured values
 (04) Oscilloscope Settings: Performs settings for the oscilloscope

Below are described the settings for each of the 3 areas other than the ON switch.

●DUT Control Settings
Aside from the switch ON display, the DUT control area has 4 settings: “Level”, “Computation”, “Clock output”, and “Pin voltage levels”. The table below shows settings for each of these.

●Graph/Plot Area and Oscilloscope Settings
The graph/plot area and the oscilloscope settings area are related, and so these are explained together. Broadly stated, there are settings for the “graph/plot area”, for the “channel settings”, and for “sampling evaluation”. For details of each of these, please refer to the table below the graphic image.

●Dynamic Window (Refer to “④ Explanation of RAG U V1.0 Functions”)
The dynamic window is a “DUT control setting”. It is selected by choosing “View → Dynamic Window Menu Item”.

• ・The Dynamic Settings window allows the user to preprogram a sequence of configurations to the RAGU main board (RAGU-main1-EVK-001).
• ・The Run Cycle determines the repeat count for the whole sequence.
• ・The Repeat Delay sets the time between each cycle.
• ・Click “Start” to begin the specified sequence.

●Temperature Monitor (Refer to “④ Explanation of RAG U V1.0 Functions”)
The Temperature Monitor is also a “DUT control setting”. It is selected by choosing “View → Tj Monitor Menu Item”.

• ・The Temperature Monitor window allows the user to preprogram a sequence of configurations in order to monitor the temperature at each setting.
• ・At the end of the sequence, the logged temperature data is plotted into a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet.
• ・Click “Start” to begin temperature monitoring.
• ・Click “Save Chart” to plot the existing temperature log in a spreadsheet.

●Calibrate
The calibrate function is found under the Help Menu. Ensure that all oscilloscope functions are turned off before calibrating the RAGU main board (RAGU-main1-EVK-001) or the RAGU option board (RAGU-op1-EVK-001). Calibrating the boards while using the oscilloscope may result in an incorrect calibration.
