PGA450Q1EVM: Controlling Multiple Boards Through USB?

Part Number: PGA450Q1EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PGA450-Q1, PGA460

Hi,

Is it possible to control multiple boards through USB on a single computer? I'd like to run two GUI's simultaneously and monitor the readings of two transducers.

Thanks,

Geoff

    Hi Geoffrey,

    Unfortunately, only one instance of the USB TIGER interface board can be run on a single computer.

    However, it is possible to monitor the activity of multiple PGA450-Q1 devices if you leverage the device address in UART or LIN mode. You can also use the PGA450Q1EVM-S (or equivalent solution) to connect the UART or LIN pins to full-scale EVM's bus.

    If you want to use the GUI specifically, the you will need to route the SPI's chip select to the device/sensor of interest since the majority of GUI interfacing uses the SPI interface.

    Are you aware of our latest generation PGA460 device? This device offers numerous improvements versus the PGA450. I highly recommend the PGA460 for any new designs.
