Documentation:

The following documents are provided:

  • “Microchip PIC32CXMTx Metrology User Guide”. It covers the following topics:
    • Metrology library configuration: current and voltage conversion factors, swell and sag thresholds, pulses configuration, creep thresholds, etc.
    • Calibration: The metrology library calibration flow is explained, including the needed formulas.
    • Additional functionalities: the metrology library provides special functions which make it more powerful. Some of these functions are the waveform capture and the harmonic analysis.
  • “Microchip PIC32CXMTx Metrology Data Sheet”. It offers a complete description of the metrology registers and explains the interface between the metrology library, running in Core 1, and the user application, running in Core 0.
