Starts a random data pattern test to SSRAM memory.

Increment Test

Starts an incrementing data pattern test to SSRAM memory.

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\cycloneVE_5cefa7f31_fpga\examples\board_test_system directory. On

Windows, click Start > All Programs > Altera > Cyclone V E FPGA 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 Cyclone V E FPGA is consuming. Figure 6–5 shows the

Power Monitor.
