4.8. Diagnostic Kernel¶
The diagnostic kernel allows real-time diagnostics and testing through interaction with an external host PC. At this time, two variants can be used:
- X2C-Scope from the Linz Center of Mechatronics GmbH, for use with the X2C-Scope plugin for MPLAB® X. This is the default variant.
- RTDM from Microchip, for use with the MPLAB® DMCI plugin. Contact Microchip if you wish to use this variant instead.
Both variants are configured to sample data at the control ISR (nominally 20 kHz) and use a UART channel for communication with the host PC.
