Figure 15. Setup Screen
3. Voltage range. Use this in conjunction with hardware
settings.
4. Sampling Rate. The default sampling frequency will match
the max sample rate of the ADC selected from the drop
down menu. User can adjust the sampling frequency,
however there are limitations around the sample frequency
where unusable sample frequencies are input, the software
will automatically adjust the sample frequency accordingly.
Units can be entered such as 10k for 10,000Hz etc. As the
max sample frequency possible is device dependent, with
some of the ADCs capable of operating up to 250ksps,
while others can run to 1.3MSPS, the software will match
the particular ADC ability. If the user enters a value larger
than the ability of the existing device, the software will
indicate this and revert to the max Sample frequency.
5. Exit Button. Use this to exit the software. Alternatively
, go to File->Exit
