GUI Software and Operating Descriptions

The AMC and Alarms tab displays alarm information for the AMC Chip Temperature, D1 Temperature,

and D2 Temperature status. These indicators are highlighted with a yellow box in Figure 6. Also

highlighted in Figure 6 are false alarm protection settings for each alarm that can trigger with the

AMC7812; these settings allow the user to choose how many consecutive triggers must occur before the

alarm goes off. Additionally, at the bottom right of this tab, there is a window for enabling/disabling the

alarm pin function and alarm latch settings.

When an alarm occurs, the corresponding LED on the GUI lights up on the AMC7812EVM. Figure 7

shows AMC Chip Temperature Status triggering for a low temperature, D1 temperature status triggering

for a high temperature, and D2 failing because jumper JP3 was removed to force a failure. The Global

Alarm LED is also triggered because of these alarms. Additionally, Alarm Status, highlighted in red at the

bottom right of Figure 7, shows the value of the AMC Status Register.
