2.2.1.1 Detailed Setup

To configure a measurement evaluation, follow these steps:

  1. Gather a voltage source and/or load/current source capable of the desired voltage and current.
  2. With instruments powered off, connect the load current carrying lines to the MP1 (IS+) and MP2 (IS-) terminals.
    1. WARNING:

      When measuring current, first make sure that the equipment (EVM, wires, connectors, and so on) can support the amperage and power dissipation. Secondly, make sure that the current flowing through IS+ and IS- terminals does not exceed 25 A for INA74x nor 50 A for INA78x devices over temperature. Failure to do so can result in damage to the EVM, or personal injury. See data sheet for more information on safe operating conditions.

      Do not touch high voltage terminals.

      The EVM and wires connected to IS+ and IS- nets can get hot.

  3. Connect the system ground to the GND terminal (J1 pin 1) or any other GND labeled test point on the EVM.
  4. Power on the system, and observe the device states and outputs through the GUI.
