CCS/MSP430FR5969: problem using energy trace tool in code composer studio

Part Number: MSP430FR5969

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

About energy trace in CCSv7

I am using MSP430FR5969 device.

I was trying to use energy trace tool in code composer studio but I am having trouble using it. 

When I start measuring the power consumption of the device, It is only tracking until one second. 

As you can see in the picture below, time stamp is moving between 0 to 1. 0->1->0->1...... so the trace is overlapped between 0 to 1. 

And also the number the device is measuring seems to have a problem. 

Does anybody have an idea for it? 

Best, 

Mirae

  • Mirae,

    Which version of CCS do you have? I vaguely recall some issues with CCSv7.0.x and/or 7.1.x releases when trying to display Energy Trace data in its view.

    You can try to erase the Trace temporary data (close CCS and then delete the directory under C:\Users\<user>\.TI-trace) or update the MSP Debug Probe drivers (menu Help --> Check for Updates)

    I can't reproduce this in my CCSv7.2.0.00013 on my FR5969 Launchpad.

    Regards,
    Rafael
