Q: Why does the tester not work when connected to the computer?
A: Please check according to the following steps:
1. Make sure you’re using the HID port to connect (on the side).
2. Try to use another cable or computer (only Windows 10 or later is supported currently)
Q: Why can't my tester detect the E-marker chip of Thunderbolt cable?
A: As the following picture shows, when the CC2 is greater than 3.3V, the cable power consumption is too high, and the tester cannot work.
Q: Why is there a black screen and shut down when testing the protocol?
A: It would help if you used the 5V or above charger to power the HID.
Q：Why does the PC crash after connecting the tester for 5 seconds or so?
A：Because the Local folder of the PC prevents the power-z application from creating files in this directory, a modified version of the PC operating system from the network may be installed.
Q：Why can't the Redmi edition update the firmware?
A：Delete the directory file C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\ChargerLab and try again.
Q：Why is there a crash when the USB charger is charging Xiaomi for testing?
A：That is because of the decoding. The 1.3.6 version firmware has completely solved the problem, and you can update and try again.
Q：Why can't some USB2.0 devices (Like mouse, keyboard) work after connecting to the tester?
A：It is a hardware issue. The reason is that the internal module has affected the USB2.0 devices. The USB3.0, USB3.1, USB3.2 and USB4 devices can work normally.

Q: What does it mean of T1 and T2 of temperature monitoring on PC software?
A: T1 (Not supported by Lite version) is ADC chip temperature, accuracy ±1°C.
T2 is microcontroller temperature, accuracy ±5°C.
Q: What is the maximum current that KM002C can support?
A: KM002C can now support up to 10A, the KM002C lite only supports up to 8.1A.
Please note that the current greater than 8A cannot be continuously tested. Be sure to use the original cables instead of third-party poor quality cables.
Q：Are there any open APIs available for further self-development?
A：We currently only provide limited toolkit for reference.
