The PDU1 Evaluation Kit （EVK） includes the 78M6618 PDU1 Board （P/N 78M6618-PDU-1） demonstrating measurement and relay control of eight outlets using shunt resistors. The board incorporates the 78M6618 power and energy measurement IC， sensors， relays， and an isolated serial port connection to a Windows PC.

　　The 78M6618 on the board is pre-programmed with PDU1 Demo Code and calibrated at the factory. The energy measurement data and status is read back over the serial UART interface presented to the PC as a virtual COM port. The 78M6618 PDU1 Evaluation Kit requires a PC with Microsoft? Windows XP or later with a USB port and a minimum 1024 x 768 video display resolution. An AC source and load complete the rest of the test setup needed to collect measurements.
