BQ76PL455A-Q1: BQ76PL455EVM GUI stability and maximum log data file size

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76PL455EVM

Hello,

one of my customers is evaluating the BQ76PL455EVM. In their application they are using 6 devices in Daisy-Chain.

They are planning to do a long-term evaluation over 30 days. Their question is, if the GUI is working over this time and are there any limitations (file size) for the log data (.TSV), as the polling occurs every 5 seconds.

Thank you and kind regards,

Felix

Hi Felix,

The GUI should be fine, but I cannot guarantee its reliability. I have run it for a few days at a time without issue.

Regards,

Stephen

Hello,

i tried the test, discribed above.

After 20h of testing, there is a Timeout Error (in the Status window of the GUI).
The message "!!No new AFE data to record!!" appears in all log-files.
Pushing the "Stop-Poll" button has no effect on the GUI.
After exiting the GUI, there is a error message "Board connection lost" (i guess).

Any ideas whats the problem?

Best regards ,

Benjamin

The GUI is really only meant for simple evaluation. If communication was lost for any reason (noise, FTDI driver bug, etc.) the GUI does not try to recover communication. The GUI is not meant to be a test tool.
