Thermal Management Graphical User Interface
The Microchip Thermal Management Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows users to evaluate various temperature-sensing evaluation boards. This software tool can be downloaded and installed from the evaluation board product page.
After the installation is successfully completed, the hardware must be connected via USB to start the Thermal Management GUI. Once the hardware is connected, the software recognizes the device ID and displays the corresponding GUI for the connected evaluation board. Disconnecting the USB will close the GUI. This tool allows the user to evaluate the sensor features and perform temperature data logging.
Figure 1 above shows an example of the MCP9600 data acquisition interface, with a plot of the thermocouple hot-joint and cold-joint temperatures.
