MENU BAR OF MAIN WINDOW

File Menu
The File menu allows you to load a previously saved AD9523-1
setup file or to save a new AD9523-1 setup file. A setup file
(.stp) is a text file that contains the AD9523-1 register setup file,
plus any evaluation board settings.
To load a previously saved setup file, select Load Setup from
the File menu. Note that you must still perform a VCO
calibration. Alternatively, to save a new setup file, select Save
Setup from the File menu.
To exit the evaluation software, select Exit from the File menu.
However, note that you must save your setup before exiting; no
checking is performed to ensure that the existing setup is saved.
I/O Menu
The AD9523-1 evaluation system allows one PC to control
multiple evaluation boards. The Select USB Device window,
accessed by choosing Select Evaluation Board from the I/O
menu, allows you to select which evaluation board the software
controls (see Figure 7). Click Refresh List to detect a recently
connected evaluation board.

Selecting Configure Serial Port from the I/O menu allows you
to control how the USB controller interacts with the AD9523-1
serial port (see Figure 8) by configuring Register 0x0000 (shown
as 0000h in Figure 10).
The serial port configuration window allows you to control how
the USB controller interacts with the AD9523-1 serial port. If
2
you are using I C mode, this window allows you to select which
address to use. Note that it needs to correspond to the settings
of Jumpers P5 and P6 on the evaluation board. You can also
click the Detect Current Configuration button to have the
evaluation software discover which I
2
C address is active.
