iC-PVL software for PCs running on Windows operating systems as well as the required USB driver are availableas a ZIP file. iC-Haus software built with LabVIEW™ requires the installation of the LabVIEW™ Run-Time Engine(RTE). The RTE must be installed only once, hence there are two download links available.
Download package without RTE (small size) including RTE (big size)iC-PVL: http://www.ichaus.de/PVL_gui http://www.ichaus.de/PVL_gui_rte
Features• IC configuration made easy by parameter tables and tool tips• Editing of application-specific default setups (*.hex) with CRC calculation• Access to DUT and transfer of setup data to RAM and/or EEPROM• Storage of IC setups as Intel Hex file for programming devices
Installation
After unzipping the iC-PVL software package PVL1SO_gui_xx resp. PVL1SO_gui_xxrte, the following files arelocated in the selected working directory (xx is a placeholder for revisions):
→ Subfolder PVL1SO_gui_xx including the executable setup.exe which starts the installation routine.→ Driver package for USB adapter.
Notice: Administrator rights are required to run installations.
1. To access the iC-PVL evaluation board, interface adapter drivers for USB and/or other adapter devices need tobe installed. The driver installation must be completed successfully before connecting the adapter to your PC.→ Execute the USB_xx.exe installation package and follow the on-screen instructions. This can take a fewminutes.
1.1 To complete the driver installation procedure, the PC adapter must be connected to USB finally, after driverinstallation (only required if the adapter will be used).
2. Install the evaluation software PVL1SO by executing the setup.exe located in the subfolder PVL1SO_gui_xx.→ Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the installation.
3. After installation the executable PVL1SO_gui_xx.exe will be available in the selected working directory.

3 Data Section Sensor data and status display, read controls.
4 Parameter Section Parameter configuration, read/write access to IC.
<Tabs> Serial Interface Refer to IC datasheet.Hall Sensor / Oscillator Refer to IC datasheet.Hex Editor This tab is a different view of the IC’s register content in HEX
format. Changes made are not automatically updated to the othertabs. Push <Read EEPROM> to update the parameter tabs.
<Parameter> Read EEPROM Reads all parameters from the EEPROM and refreshes the dis-play.
Write EEPROM Writes all parameters from GUI to the EEPROM. A preset isexecuted subsequently to boot up the iC-PVL with the new con-figuration.
Write Immediately If checked, any change to a parameter is transferred to the EEP-ROM immediately. A preset is executed after each parameterchange to boot up the iC-PVL with the new configuration.
Preset Executes a preset command to the iC-PVL to apply parametervalue changes. The iC-PVL boots up and reads the configurationfrom the EEPROM. Designed for Evaluationboard PVL1M. UsesPin 6 on I2C-Plug of the MB3U-I2C USB adapter.
