This group displays any custom model that has been
loaded onto the part by the software. If the device resets,
this model is automatically reloaded. If you are using the
default model, nothing is displayed here. Any changes
to the configuration file are not reloaded automatically.
This group displays the file path to which the software
is recording the registers. If this box is blank, no file is
being saved.
You can enter a byte here and press the Write button to
write it to the device. This is not the same as writing the
value into the memory map, because RCOMP is part of a
larger 2-byte register.
If you have a custom model, you can also change
the temperature, which adjusts the MAX17048 for
proper temperature performance. Changing this value
immediately calculates a new value of RCOMP and
displays it in the box. This value is not written to the
device until you press the Write button. A change to
RCOMP is not reflected in the temperature.
Notation used for name and address should be familiar
to C programmers with one small change. The memory
map lists:
• Register Name: A dot indicates that a single address
• Memory Address: A colon indicates the 0-indexed
• Hex: The raw value as read directly from the device.
• Value: A conversion of the raw hex value, usually with
• Description: Reminders of the functionality. For
The user can write values to the device directly through
the memory map. To write a raw hex value, select the
cell in the hex column, overwrite the value, and press
the Enter or Tab key. You will be prompted to write to the
device. Normal communication will pause, and you will
see a corresponding blank spot in the graph.
has multiple meanings. This is similar to how the C
firmware might access the bits.
location, not the size of the bit field. A dash indicates
a range of values (e.g., 0x0C:0-4 is a 5-bit value,
offset 0 bits at address 0x0C).
units. Alert bit flags are blank when inactive, or show
text when they are alerting.

For registers with a conversion factor (e.g., Hibernate
Threshold or VAlertMax, you can also modify the Value
column. The software converts the value back to the raw
hex, and prompts to verify that you are writing what you
expect. Remember that not all registers are writable.
The plot can be configured using the Preferences window.
The plot is interactive: You can zoom into the time axis
by left-clicking and dragging anywhere in the plot area.
You will see the region highlighted as you drag. You can
zoom out either by clicking the small button in the bottom
left, or by right-clicking in the plot area.
Plotted information not in a log file cannot be recovered
once the application closes.
The top and bottom plots are synchronized in time,
so zooming one zooms the other. The y axes are fixed
scale, and you cannot modify which registers are
plotted, or where.
Here you can see options for how frequently you wish
to read the device and how to plot points. If you are
trying to observe transient events, you need to increase
the read speed, as well as how frequently the points are
actually plotted.
The plots can use a lot of system memory if you read
frequently for a long time, so be aware of these settings.
After the maximum number of points is reached, points
are trimmed from the beginning. The discarded points
cannot be recovered on the plot.
Here you can see a log of traffic that you initiate, as well
as any time the device is programmed. It describes each
step in detail, including the particular values read or
written. This can help remove uncertainty about how to
communicate with the device. This log does not show the
standard reading events.
This displays the same information as the memory map
on the main application, except you cannot modify values
in this map. This is the easiest place to read descriptions
of the registers.
