Introduction

Power Board Visualizer allows the monitoring and debugging of real-time data from an embedded system, using either UART or CAN FD communication protocols. With multiple visual elements for data visualization and monitoring, this tool can be used to easily track and analyze the system's performance and behavior.

Power Board Visualizer includes a data framing strategy for data transmission over UART, allowing the user to send large amounts of data efficiently and reliably. For CAN FD communication, this tool uses the framing strategy defined by the standard, ensuring compatibility and interoperability with other CAN FD devices.

This user guide provides all the information needed to get started and make the most of this powerful tool.

The Power Board Visualizer has the following features:

  • System-level data monitoring capabilities that allow the user to add multiple COM instances, enabling comprehensive and real-time monitoring of the system's performance and behavior.
  • The ability to send variable-length data frames over UART.
  • Seamless communication over CAN FD, with compatibility and interoperability with other CAN FD devices, thanks to the use of the standard framing strategy.
  • Multiple GUI elements for data visualization, including bit-level data visualization, providing the user with an intuitive and comprehensive view of the system's data.
  • Organizing incoming messages into multiple pages, enabling the user to manage and analyze large amounts of data more effectively and efficiently.
  • With a new ASCII logging feature, Power Board Visualizer can act as a terminal, allowing the user to send messages that will be interpreted as ASCII characters.

The latest version of Power Board Visualizer introduces enhanced data compatibility, allowing the embedded system to transmit data in various encoding, including support for floating-point values. This expanded capability ensures more flexible and accurate data visualization, accommodating a wider range of embedded system outputs.
