The Power Monitor measures and reports current power and temperature
information for the board. To start the application, click Power Monitor in the Board
Test System application.
You can also run the Power Monitor as a stand-alone application. PowerMonitor.exe
resides in the <install
dir>\kits\stratixIVGX_4sgx230_fpga\examples\board_test_system directory. On
Windows, click Start > All Programs > Altera > Stratix IV GX FPGA Development
Kit <version> > Power Monitor to start the application.
The Power Monitor communicates with the MAX II device on the board through the
JTAG bus. A power monitor circuit attached to the MAX II device allows you to
measure the power that the Stratix IV GX FPGA device is consuming regardless of the
design currently running.
