Digital Power Insight™ Tools
The DPI kit provides power engineers with a user interface
that delivers control flexibility over their digital products.
The DPI™ GUI communicates with PMBus™ enabled products, specifically
DLynx POLs, via a USB to I
2 C adapter. The software features continuous
monitoring (polling) of input voltage, output voltage and current, as well as
module status. Status changes are automatically time stamped and logged
by the software and are easily exported. A Command Line Interface (CLI) is also
available for a more in-depth analysis of the transmitted data across the I
2 C
bus. The CLI is a useful tool for creating and executing user-defined routines and
scripts, as well as the logging of data for future review or plotting.
In addition to its monitoring capabilities, designers can use the DPI kit to
configure and reconfigure voltages, thresholds, warnings, and settings for
individual power modules. All final values for the configuration specs can be
saved. Engineers can also use the software’s built-in auto-detect functionality
to identify modules on the I
2 C bus.
The software enables engineers to create custom configuration files and to
fine-tune and optimize a variety of parameters to ensure the highest levels of
performance and efficiency. The DPI Software Tool Set is distributed as a zip file
that can be downloaded from a link on the GE Energy website.
