SOFTWARE OPERATION

OVERVIEW OF THE MAIN WINDOW

The main window of the software displays the significant
control buttons and analysis indicators of the
evaluation software (see Figure 7). This window is divided into
four sections. The green numbers shown in Figure 7 (Label 1
through Label 4) correspond to the following components of
the main window:

Control toolbar (Label 1)—control buttons

Data section (Label 2)—waveform graph and controls

Analysis section (Label 3)—histogram graph and controls

Status bar (Label 4)—information

CONTROL TOOLBAR

Start Sampling and Samples
Start Sampling, located on the right of the control toolbar,
gathers ADC results. Results appear in the graphs of the DATA
and ANALYSIS sections of the main window. The Samples
numeric control is the number of samples gathered per batch.

Evaluation Software
Sampling
Sampling (set to Capture in Figure 7) enacts the sampling mode
used by the software. This is unrelated to the ADC mode. The
user can capture a defined sample set or continuously gather
batches of samples. In both cases, the number of samples set in
the Samples numeric input dictates the number of samples.
ADC Setup
Click ADC Setup to open the ADC register map window. Use
the new window to change register settings. This window allows
the user to save existing register settings or load previously
saved register settings.
ADC Reset
Click ADC Reset to perform a software reset of the AD7175-8.
There is no hardware reset pin. Perform a hard reset by removing
power to the board. The software reset has the same effect as a
hard reset.
Delete Data Clear Graphs
Click Delete Data Clear Graphs to clear any existing content
from the waveform and histogram graphs.
