LM25066 PMBus data reading

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM25066

Hi 

I use 16*LM25066 in one board and each device have different address setting.

According to the test, GUI only can read one device, if i want to read another, GUI need to reopen.

I would like to know that can I read the data of all 16 devices at the same time? 

Thanks!

Winnie

  • Hi Winnie,

    Please download the latest GUI directly at  --> "Tools & Software".

    You should only need to open the "PI-COMMANDER" software once. Then multiple devices should show up under the "Device Menu", each with a different address. You can then select each device to open up a device configuration GUI for that address.

    So to read 16x devices, you would need to open PI-COMMANDER once, then click each device address and open up 16x different device configuration windows.

    Thanks!

  • Hi

    i use PI-COMMANDER for LM25066 IV monitor, but the dialogue window which shows communcation error as figure1 below will appear when operation and i found corresponding DAh command on datasheet as figure2, what is the erroe means? or is it a waring ? because SPM-GUI have no similar window when using.

    thanks!

  • Hi Winnie,

    It could be a driver issue. Under the windows start menu, there should be a series of folders for: "Texas Instruments" --> "PI Commander-0.8.x.x" --> "Advanced" --> "FTDI" and then an option to uninstall drivers or install drivers.

    I would recommend first uninstalling the FTDI drivers, then installing the drivers based on that folder.

    I do not know if that will solve this particular issue, but we have seen problems if using an older or newer driver than the GUI was designed for.

    Thanks,
    Alex
