The Windows Analog Software Program (WASP) is a general application for all MicroConverter
products that allows analysis of their analog performance. The WASP recognizes which
MicroConverter the PC is communicating with, before automatically downloading the appropriate
code. In this tutorial we will briefly introduce both the SAR WASP (for the SAR ADC parts ...
ADuC812, ADuC814, ADuC831, ADuC832, ADuC841, ADuC842 and the ADuC843) and the
Σ∆ WASP (for the Σ∆ ADC parts ... ADuC816, ADuC824, ADuC834, ADuC836, ADuC845,
ADuC847 and ADuC848). The terms SAR WASP and Σ∆ WASP relate to the same WASP
software. The software differentiates between the different products.
After downloading the appropriate code the WASP launches the Acquisition Window. This allows
the user to configure, control and analyze the ADC noise performance with the various analog and
digital peripherals enabled/disabled.
1. Power up the evaluation board using the 9V power supply. Connect the evaluation board to
your PC's COM1 serial port using the RS-232 dongle cable connected to the 4-way header,
J4.
2. The user should put the MicroConverter into serial download mode as described in section
3.1.2.
3. From the START menu choose Programs
application.
C:\ADuC\WASP\WASP.exe.
4. Click the DOWNLOAD Button. 'ADuC8XX' should appear and the code starts to
download. A task bar indicates the download progression. A message appears to tell you
when the file is downloaded. The program automatically runs after this download.
Note: The NEXT button bypasses the 'Download' sequence and can be used if the WASP code is
already downloaded and running on the MicroConverter.To identify the MicroConverter for
the WASP software the user should select the appropriate MicroConverter from the
"MicroConverter Select" option box and the click on NEXT.
