  • Section for USB Power Delivery Testers?

    I received my USB Power Delivery Tester Pro a few days ago, and I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to find bugs. What process do you want us to follow when we find bugs? Can you create a section in the forum for PD Testers?

    To prime the process, here are some interesting things I've learned about the new PD Tester Pro over the past week:
    1. STRANGE: The Pro units have no serial numbers - not on the device label or in the software. The PM125 at least called itself "PMPD5FRRLN" or something like that.
    2. BUG: 100% of the time when I try and use the FFT graph function on the Pro, the hardware locks up and requires a power-off-restart
    3. DESIGN: The Pro PM240 use the galactically hideous Micro-USB jack for the analysis port. Please, dear God, let USB Micro-B die already. I have replaced more of these garbage USB ports than any other USB port for the past 15 years - I have Q-Tips that are more durable than these things.
    Congrats on finally getting these released!

    You can Email us with any issues. Or post them here.

    1) Serial number called "ID" in the user interface.

    2) Yes, we found this bug as well. We should have solution in the next FW update, likely in next few days. We have an internal V1.7 release and there will be a public V1.8 release that should fix this. It seems to be a random memory alignment issue for the data buffer.

    3) We didn't want to use another Type-C port as that would seem to be too confusing to have 3 of them next to each other. And Type-C ports are equally fragile but harder to replace. Micro-USB was the next best commonly in use port.
