1 About the Power Tool

The Power Tool is a demo designed to showcase the power features of the Versal ACAP device. The Power Tool typically runs on the System Controller, but you will also occasionally see deployments with the Power Tool running on the Versal.
The Power Advantage Tool consists of two main elements: The Python library and the Jupyter Notebook Python code.
(1) The Python library poweradvantage.py provides a portable and embeddable power measurement system.
(2) The Jupyter Notebook Python code power_advantage_tool.ipynb provides an example that can be extended by Python and Python Libraries. This Python interface gives a familiar programming language that avoids downloading development tools and compile times. Jupyter Notebook is a web interface that supports graphical documentation of the code.
