7 Important Notes
¥ This document is preliminary and is subject to change when the next board revision is made available.
¥ Never use the mains at the same time as debug, unless you are using isolated-FET USB FETs.
¥ The MSP430AFE and the MSP430F6638 have two different GND planes, and this needs to be maintained if PC communication is done via USB.
¥ The first revision of the software does not include any projects on the MSP430F6638, but these will be added in the future.
¥ Two LEDs on the board, one for active and the other for reactive, are present to test the accuracy of the meter via pulse generation.
¥ The same pulses are also available on headers ACT_PUL and REACT_PUL. However, these pulses on the header are not isolated. For isolated pulses, use the header HDR1 and HDR2, instead.
¥ The board is not supplied with current sensors. You must ensure sensors are connected before making connections to CUR1 and CUR 2 points on the lower side of the EVM.
