The Power Monitor
The Power Monitor measures and reports current power information. To start the
application, click Power Monitor in the Board Test System application.
1 You can also run the Power Monitor as a stand-alone application. PowerMonitor.exe
resides in the <install
dir>\kits\arriaVST_5astfd5kf40es_soc\examples\board_test_system directory.
In Windows, click Start > All Programs > Altera > Arria V SoC Development Kit
<version> > Power Monitor to start the application.
The Power Monitor communicates with the MAX V device on the board through the
JTAG bus. A power monitor circuit attached to the MAX V device allows you to
measure the power that the Arria V FPGA is consuming.
Figure 5–9 shows the Power
Monitor.
The following sections describe the Power Monitor controls.
