DRV10987EVM: Not able to set parameters in EVM GUI

Part Number: DRV10987EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV10987

Hello all,

i need your help concerning configuring the DRV10987 EVM using the Getting Started Guide.

I Installed the EVM GUI and started it in Demo Mode(same happens when EvalBoard is attached) to get you some Screencaps.

When i try to set Phase resistance to below 1 using decimal dot, input is refused, when i use comma it gets reverted back to 0.

When i use prefixes (m for milli, u for micro) the numbers also get reverted.

Do you have any idea what i could do to fix this?

The installer was asking me to download NI Runtime 2014, which i did by the link provided in the installer.

do i need to update this?

See attached screencaps for expanation.

Selecting another Eval Board from Dropdown on start makes the T Control Advance work as expected.

Do you have any hints for me?

  • Hello Oliver,

    The GUI should be able to accept decimals and units (u and m) in each of the text boxes. Please download and install the LabView 2014 Runtime Engine and try it again, note you may have to reinstall the GUI to make it work: www.ni.com/.../

    When you do eventually hook up the EVM, a quick check is to click the manual refresh button in the top right to ensure the spots were correctly populated. They will update and display the value that was successfully inserted into the GUI. If the numbers show the incorrect value, then the write command to our device was not successful.

    Best,
