Bugs and Reviews

Our first GUI release of the new year 2020. Ver 2.3.4 is now available for download. It has one minor bug fix for the battery model addition and reduced calibration time.

For some applications where the target device is connected to the main earth (ground), the non isolation of the power profiler may be a problem. It could pick-up noise and can cause small offsets in measurement. In order to solve this ground loop, we recommend to use a high speed USB isolator which runs at 480Mbps. We have tested a product named Hifime High-Speed USB Isolator and found to be working fine with the IOT Power Profiler. It provides isolated USB port which can be used with grounded loads with greater accuracy. https://hifimediy.com/high-speed-usb-isolator-480Mbps Note that any USB isolator would not work. It has to work at 480Mbps and should be able to provide at least 200mA to the power profiler. Most USB isolators out in the market work only at 12Mbps and not at the high speed.

A new version of the GUI has been released. This has some enhancements made for the profiling. Features better stability and lower load on the PC. It is tested to run on an Intel Core i3 processor at 1.8GHz with just 4GB of RAM and a hard disk (Non SSD). It takes at max 40% of the CPU on this system. Some additional features are added for trigger search. Please download and install the latest version.
