GUI File manipulation for MSP430f energy meters

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F47197

By any chance has anyone changed the GUI for MSP430f47197 or other MSP430fs? I got the .cxx files and a file which is called gui.fl I changed let's say a button (Manual cal.) to (Manual) but it does not show up on the graphic bars!

Do you know any solution to get around this?

    In your opinion is this possible to change the GUI with the help of Visual Studio? In other words, to create a new project and change the GUI in our purpose?

    If not what software do you suggest to build a Gui?

    Where can we find the source code of the gui software?

    Is it another way of calibrating our meter without using this gui.

    I would like to make my own gui in matlab

    Hi George!

    This GUI is a calibrator that displays Values + scale factors. You apply some factors and change the values correspondingly. You need your standard meter as a reference and then you can compare your readings and apply the changes. 

    As for the source code. unfortunately TI has not provided us with the source code. It is a Linux based software and many files are missing. All we have is the following files for the firmware as well as the GUI software.

    And last but not least, I wonder how would you build your GUi with MATLAB?

    Thanks for you answer.

    I would like also to know whether a calibration is required every time we start measuring or in case we change the object code we load on msp430f47197?

    Of course, from the first you may change the scale factors to pass the test in one single point meaning that at a specific current and voltage. However, You need to have it calibrated to cancel the errors and make it perfect for all other test points!
