When first turned on, the software name and version number is displayed on line 1 and 2
of the LCD.
During power-up the PIC checks to see which DDS board is fitted.
The last digit of the version number indicates the DDS chip type found i.e.
version x.x0
If no DDS is found.
version x.x1
If an AD9851 is found.
version x.x2
If an AD9954 is found.
version x.x3
If an AD9958 is found. (note:- disabled in this version until fully
tested with the AD9958)
If no DDS board is connected to the PIC board, or the DDS chip type does not match the
calibration
settings saved in the PIC's EEPROM you will be taken to the DDS CALIBRATION screens. See
below.
After 2.5 second the VFO or memory screen is displayed.
The memory or frequency displayed is the same as that displayed before the power was
turned off.
Any changes are saved to EEPROM 3.3 seconds after the rotary encoder stops moving.
More descriptions to be added here. VFO's, DDS ranges, Bootloader, HRD control, etc

Button functions.
A
A/B
A quick press changes from the active VFO to the non-active VFO. ie, VFO-A to
VFO-B,
or VFO-B to VFO-A.
A long press, copies the active VFO to the non-active VFO. ie, VFO-A to VFO-B,
or VFO-B to VFO-A.
B
RIT / SPLIT
A quick press turns the RIT function on or off.
A long press, turns the split VFO function on or off.
C
RPT
A quick press turns on the -RPT function, the next press turns on the +RPT
function, the next
press turns off the RPT function.
Holding the RPT button down, allows you to adjust the RPT offset for the
current VFO.
Each of the 30 VFO's has its own RPT offset.
The default RPT offset for the 10M VFO's is 100KHz.
The default RPT offset for all other VFO's is 0.0KHz.
D
MEM
A quick press turns the MEM function on, use the encoder to select a used
memory.
You can use any of the MEMORY mode keypad functions.
See "Button functions while in MEMORY mode" below.
Another quick press turns the MEM function off.
A long press, saves the current VFO to a memory, use the encoder to select a
memory to save to.

Summary of Contents for Minikits AD9954

  • Page 1 If no DDS is found. version x.x1 If an AD9851 is found. version x.x2 If an AD9954 is found. version x.x3 If an AD9958 is found. (note:- disabled in this version until fully tested with the AD9958) If no DDS board is connected to the PIC board, or the DDS chip type does not match the calibration settings saved in the PIC's EEPROM you will be taken to the DDS CALIBRATION screens.
  • Page 2 There are 202 memories to choose from. Memory 1 to 200 and M-PL and M-PU. A quick press will cancel the memory save, and return you to the VFO screen. Or another long press will save to the selected memory. SAVING will be displayed for 1.6 sec, then you will be returned to the MEMORY mode screen.
  • Page 3 i.e. 100KHz to 33MHz not covered by the 160m to 10m bands. Modulation mode up. Each press increases the mode. i.e. LSB, USB, CW, CWR, AM, FM, DIG, PKT ... LSB, USB, CW etc. VFO band down. The first press turns on the band display. Further presses decrease the band. i.e.
  • Page 4 i.e. LSB, USB, CW, CWR, AM, FM, DIG, PKT ... LSB, USB, CW etc. Set the scan direction to down. The scan direction character ↓ will be displayed on the top line of the LCD. Modulation mode down. Each press decreases the mode. i.e.
  • Page 5 displayed. The cursor is turned on under the first character of the label. 1) You can change the cursor position by holding down button 3 and rotating the encoder. 2) To change the character at the cursor position, release button 3, select a character by rotating the encoder.
  • Page 6 this will slow or halt the memory scan. See the SCAN setup screens. After the 1.6 seconds, scanning will be started, the DDS will step through all non skipped memories. The memory scan rate is set in the SCAN setup screens. The scan direction character will be displayed i.e.
  • Page 7: Function Menus

    This function is only usefull when a scan is halted. Halt/Resume the MEM scan. A quick press halts the scan, another press resumes scanning. The scan halt character = will be displayed on the top line of the LCD when scanning is halted.
