5.3.1 INA230 Bus Voltage, Shunt Voltage, Current, and Power Reading Bar

The bottom bar of the INA230 software, as shown in Figure 5-9, allows the user to constantly check the status of the INA230 unit itself. These values are updated each time the user clicks the Read All Reg button at the top of the software. In addition to the register values stored in the part, the software also includes flags for when the part is ready to trigger another conversion and when the Alert pin is triggered.
