SUGGESTED EQUIPMENT NOT INCLUDED
PC w/ MS-Windowsversions XT, ME, or 2000, equipped with RS232 port (COM port) via DB9 connector
DEMO BOARD TEST SETUP
Figure 1-1 shows the basic connections of the Demo Board plus Debug Board with the external equipment.
Figure 1-1: TERIDIAN 71M6515H Demo and Debug Boards: Basic Connections
The 71M6515H demo board system is shown in Figure 1-2. It consists of a stand-alone rectangular meter
Demo Board and an optional Debug Board (most Debug Boards are partially assembled and have less
components than shown in Figure 1-2). The Demo Board contains all circuits necessary for operation as a
meter front end, calibration LEDs, and power supply. The Debug Board is optically isolated from the meter
and interfaces to a PC through a 9 pin serial port. For serial communication between the PC and the
TERIDIAN 71M6515H, the Debug Board needs to be plugged with its connector J3 into connector JP21 of
the Demo Board.
Connections to the external signals to be measured, i.e. scaled AC voltages and current signals derived
from shunt resistors or current transformers, are provided on the rear side of the demo board.
Note: It is recommended to set up the demo board with no live AC voltage connected, and to
connect live AC voltages only after the user is familiar with the demo system.

Note: All input signals are referenced to the V3P3 (3.3V power supply to the chip).
1.6.1 POWER SUPPLY SETUP
There are several choices for meter power supply:
• Internal (using phase A of the AC line voltage). The internal power supply is only suitable when
phase A exceeds 220V RMS.
• External 5VDC connector (J1) on the Demo Board and external 5VDC connector (J1) on the Debug
Board.
The power supply jumper JP1 must be consistent with the power supply choice. JP1 disconnects phase A
from the power supply. This jumper should usually be left in place.
The internal supply is not strong enough to power the Debug Board. Thus, the external power supply should
always be used for the Debug Board, regardless whether the meter is powered by its internal supply or
through an external supply.

1.6.2 SERIAL CONNECTION SETUP
For connection of the DB9 serial port to a PC, either a straight or a so-called “null-modem” cable may be
used. JP1 and JP2 are plugged in for the straight cable, and JP3/JP4 are empty. The jumper configuration is
reversed for the null-modem cable, as shown in Table 1-1.
Configuration JP1 JP2 JP3 JP4
Straight Cable installed installed -- --
Null-Modem Cable -- -- installed installed
Table 1-1: Jumper settings on Debug Board
JP1 through JP4 can also be used to alter the connection when the PC is not configured as a DCE device.
Table 1-2 shows the connections necessary for the straight DB9 cable and the pin definitions.

1.7 PREPARING THE PC
The Control Program PMtest.exe must be copied from the CD-ROM to a directory on the host PC. The
program can then be started directly by double-clicking on the PMTest.exe icon (see Figure 1-3).
PMTest.exe
Figure 1-3: Control Program Icon
PMTest.exe can work in two baud rates and on any COM port. To configure PMTest.exe for the desired
operation mode, the original PMTest.exe file is copied to or renamed to a file with a name of the form:
PMTestxxxCy.exe
If xxx = 192, the program will operate at 19.2kb/s, if xxx = 384, the program will operate at 38.4kb/s (UART
speed when communicating with the 71M6515H).
The number substituted for y states the COM port number that the program is using for communicating with
the host.
Example: When named PMTest192C2.exe, the program will operate with 19.2kb/s via COM port 2.
Revision 2.0 10 of 66
© Copyright 2005 TERIDIAN Semiconductor Corporation

71M6515H Demo Board User’s Manual
Note: For smooth operation of the PMTest program it is important to observe the following rules:
• It is important to exit all programs that access COM port 1 before PMTEST.exe is started.
• Make sure all applicable updates to the Windows ® operating system are installed before running
the application.
• PMTest.exe will not run on Windows® 98 or older operating systems.
Real-time performance can be affected by processor-intense operations of the PC, such as starting new
applications, loading files into applications, or ending applications. Such operations have to be avoided to
ensure uninterrupted communication between PC and the 6515H Demo Board.
Do not press the ALT key on the keyboard!

1.8.1
1.8.2
USING THE DEMO BOARD
The 71M6515H Demo Board is a ready-to-use meter with a preprogrammed scaling factor Kh of 3.2
Wh/pulse. In order to be used with a calibrated load or a meter calibration system, the board should be
connected to the AC power source using the spade terminals on the bottom of the board. The current
transformers should be connected to the dual-pin headers on the bottom of the board. For the Kh to be
adjusted properly, current transformers with 2,000:1 winding ratio must be used.
STARTING UP THE DEMO BOARD AND THE GUI PROGRAM
In order to control and monitor the Demo Board, the connections specified in section 1.6 have to be
established.
The sequence of actions when powering up the Demo Board is as follows:
1. Power up the Demo Board
2. Start the GUI Control Program PMTest.exe.
3. Check for communication between the GUI Control Program and the 71M6515H. Communication is
established when the green “LED” indicator labeled 1SEC on the GUI screen flashes red every
second.
4. Initialize the 71M6515H to match the desired application and measurement parameters. Establish
the CE image, calibration factors, pulse parameters, nominal temperature, IMAX/VMAX using the
commands and fields described in 1.8.2.
5. Establish the desired configuration using the bits of the CONFIG register (field 16 in the GUI
window), but do not enable the CE.
6. Enable the CE by clicking the square button next to “CE_ENABLE”.
Once, voltage is applied and load current is flowing, the red LED D5 will flash each time an energy sum of
3.2 Wh is collected.
Similarly, the red LED D6 will flash each time a reactive energy sum of 3.2 VARh is collected.
CONTROLLING THE DEMO BOARD
Upon starting the PMTEST.exe application, the graphical user interface (GUI) of the demo application
shown in Figure 1-4 will be displayed on the screen. The gray boxes are the meter outputs and the white
boxes contain host, i.e. user, inputs.
It is important to enable the computation engine (CE) in order to see activity in the GUI window. You can
check the computation engine (CE) status by verifying the status of the button on the left of CE_ENABLE in
the “Config” block of the GUI. It should display a “1”, as shown in Figure 1-4. If not, the CE can be enabled
by clicking the “0” button to the left of the “CE_ENABLE” text using the left mouse button. Upon clicking, the
“0” will toggle to a “1”, and the green and red indicator lights underneath the “Status/Mask” text will start
blinking.

1.8.4 GUI WINDOW – DISPLAY AND CONTROL FIELDS
The PMTEST (GUI) window, as shown in Figure 1-4, contains a number of major blocks or areas (Pulse
Source Select, Config, Status/Mask, Calibration Constants, Temperature Compensation, Real-Time Monitor,
Digital I/O, Thresholds and Operating Time). These major blocks (labeled 1 through 12 in Figure 1-4) group
the functionally related buttons and fields together. The elements of the GUI are as follows:
• Rectangular buttons: Buttons that can be clicked by the user to initiate an action.
• Square buttons: Buttons that can be clicked by the user to initiate an action. The square buttons have
a single digit showing the current state of the signal. A “1” is on and a “0” is off.
• Entry fields: White rectangular fields that can be edited by the user. The delete key plus the number
and cursor keys work in this type of field.
Revision 2.0 12 of 66

71M6515H Demo Board User’s Manual
• Display fields: Gray rectangular fields that indicate settings, measurements etc. of the 6515H chip.
These fields cannot be edited by the user.
• List fields: Entry fields that allow selection from the pre-determined list of choices once the down-
pointing arrow is pressed (“pull-down” menus).
• Indicator lights: Red and green activity indicators underneath the “Status/Mask” label.
Green lights mean no activity. Red lights mean that the corresponding bit in
the STATUS mask is set, i.e. the condition is true.
With an input signal (phase A, B, C voltage) present, the F0 light will be on
indicating that the square wave following the input signal is being
generated. The light at “1SEC” will blink red every second. Other lights will
stay green until the corresponding condition is true, e.g. when the input
signal meets a sag or over-voltage threshold.
A summary of all of the GUI window areas follows on the next pages.

External Pulse Control Area (7):
This area consists of a vertical column of combined display/entry fields to the right of the Pulse Count area.
A field can be made and entry field by selecting “External” for the corresponding pulse source in the Pulse
Source Selection area. In all other selections the fields are display fields.
When the corresponding Pulse Source selection in the Pulse Source Selection area is “External”, values
can be entered in the External Pulse Control fields to simulate pulse control by the host.
A new value must be entered in each new accumulation interval. The displayed values return to zero as
soon as the next accumulation interval starts and no new values are supplied by the host. If no values are
supplied by the host, the associated flags in the STATUS register (see STATUS/MASK area) will be set.
If very large numbers are entered, the pulses may be generated over several accumulation intervals.
When the corresponding Pulse Source selection in the Pulse Source Selection area is “Internal” or post-
processed values, the display fields of the External Pulse Control area contain input values N that
correspond to the pulse rate “f” per the equation:
f = WRATE * X * N * 35.82*10-12
In other words, the ADC count corresponding to the applied voltages at the Vn and In pins (VA/IA, VB/IB,
VC/IC) will be displayed.

Default Function
IMAX 208A
IMAX is the RMS meter current that results in 250mV peak signal at the
ADC input. This variable reflects the scaling implemented by the voltage
sensing resistors of the Demo Board.
Note: When using shunt resistors as current sensors, IMAX must be
calculated as (Vppmax = 250mV):

VMAX 600V
VMAX is the RMS meter voltage that results in 250mV peak signal at the
ADC input. This variable reflects the design of the current sensing circuitry
of the Demo Board, assuming a 2000:1 current transformer.
Warning Thresholds Area (10):
This area consists of seven entry fields to the right of the Temperature Compensation area.
GUI Element
(Label)
Default Function
Creep 27000
Determines the creep threshold. For each phase, if WSUM_X and
VARSUM_X of that phase are less than the value in the CREEP field, the
contents of I2h, Wh, and VARh for that phase will be set to zero for the
whole accumulation interval. If all phases are below the creep threshold,
the CREEP bit in the status word is set. The default value is 6000.
Vrms Peak 733.2 Threshold for over-voltage alarms, measured in Vrms.
Irms Peak 254.2 Threshold for over-current alarms, measured in Arms.
Sag (Vpk) 79.9 Determines the voltage sag threshold. The peak voltage must exceed
the voltage entered in this field at least once each SAG_CNT samples in
order to prevent a sag warning.
Values can be entered directly in Volts. The GUI will round the entered
value to the next possible value that can be represented with the
resolution used for this parameter.
SagCnt 80
Determines the sag alarm setting. Sag must persist SAG_CNT*397µs
before the sag alarm is generated. Allowed range is 1 to (215-1). Default
is 80 (31.7ms).
Starting V 39.974 Determines the voltage below which the calculation of frequency, zero
crossings and voltage phase is suppressed.
Starting I 0.048 Determines the current below which the calculation of current-related
values is suppressed.

Digital I/O Area (14):
This area consists of three entry fields below the Real-Time Monitor area. The entries determine the
configuration and settings of the eight DIO pins (D0 to D7).
GUI Element
(Label)
Default Function
Values 0x00
The hexadecimal number entered here defines the pattern that is applied
to the I/O pins.
Interrupts 0x00
The hexadecimal pattern entered in this field determines whether a
DEDGE interrupt is generated upon a bit changing its status. A 1 means
that the corresponding DIO pin generates an interrupt.
DEDGE interrupts are only generated for DIO pins that are configured
as inputs.
Direction 0xFF
The hexadecimal number entered here defines whether I/O pins are inputs
(0) or outputs (1).
A signal transition on an input pin will generate a DEDGE interrupt only once. This interrupt will not be syn-
chronized with the accumulation interval or the 1-sec interrupt. Several transitions per accumulation interval
are possible.
With every signal transition on a DIO pin, the message “Some Dn pin values have changed!” will be
displayed in the Status Window.
Status Window Area (15):
This is the white, rectangular window at the bottom center of the GUI display. Activities of the PMtest.exe
GUI Control program, error messages etc. are listed here.
If more events occur than can be displayed in the lines of this window, the display will scroll. Events and
messages that occurred in the past will then be displayed by scrolling the window using the scroll arrows to
the right of it.
When the rectangular CLEAR button above the Status Window is pressed, the messages displayed in the
Status Window are deleted.
