Raw data of power and energy graphs of energy trace module for msp430fr5969

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR5969, ENERGYTRACE

How to view the raw data of power and energy graphs of energy trace module for msp430fr5969?..how to view the .profxml file?

  • Krishna,

    For the moment we do not have a way to export this raw data outside CCS (.profxml), but this is something that we are looking into it.

    Regards,

  • David,

                     Is it possible to give the full form of components that come under RTS of Active mode when we do a Energy Trace ++ module. What does main mean in the active mode?...Any manual/guid e for those stuff?..

  • Krishna,

    The RTS (Run Time System Library) source code is part of your CCS installation. Please look in:

    C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\msp430_4.3.x\lib

    - rtssrc.zip

    RTS_4_3_x_Manifest.pdf

  • David,

                 I would like to  the power numbers of my CPU components like ADC when my code is running in free run mode. Energy trace ++ runs in debug mode and gives me the percentages of energy consumed of my components .Can I use the power numbers of  my code in  free run mode and use the percentages of the components in debug mode to get the power consumed of individual components.

                  In summary my question is how to correlate between the power data shown by energy trace++ and energy trace in debug and power modes respectively.

     Regards,

    Krishna

    AFAIK, EnergyTrace gives you the power consumed by your system.
    EnergyTrace+ gives you a timeline with the information which component was active at a given time.
    However, you won’t get the information how much energy any component uses. You may calculate it when you have two states that differ only in one component being active or not, and all other components taking exactly the same power. Then the difference in energy consumed is the consumption of this component during its active period. However, these are too many prerequisites to make an automatic analysis meaningful.

    Also, debug mode may change the timing compared to free run mode. So it is likely misleading to correlate data from two different runs.

  • Hi David,

    Any updates on this subject? Fyi, I'm using msp432 launchpad.

  • Hi Federico,

     CCS v6.1.3.3.00033 support EnergyTrace CSV format, please make sure to enable it:
