ST7580 power line modem demonstration kit
graphical user interface (GUI)
Introduction
The “ST7580 GUI” is a software tool that allows one or more ST power line modem (PLM)
demonstration boards to be interfaced with a personal computer (PC). Only PLM
demonstration boards equipped with the ST7580 device are supported.
When using the ST7580 GUI the user has complete control of the ST7580 device, having
access to all its registers and functions described in [2].
The typical application environment (shown in Figure 1) consists of an ST7580 GUI running
on a PC and communicating through a USB connection with a PLM demonstration kit
equipped with the ST7580 product, such as the EVALKITST7580-1 (consisting of an
EVALST7580-1 modem board and an EVLALTAIR900-M1 power supply board).
