[AKD4497-SA] [Write] button: Data Write Dialog Select the [Write] button located on the right of the each corresponding address when changing two or more bits on the same address simultaneously. Click the [Write] button for the register pop-up dialog box shown below.
[AKD4497-SA] ■ Dialog Box 1. [All Reg Write]: All Register Write dialog box Click [All Reg Write] button in the main window to open register setting file window shown below. Register setting files saved by [SAVE] button may be applied.

[AKD4497-SA] 2. [Data R/W]: Data R/W Dialog Box Click the [Data R/W] button in the main window for data read/write dialog box. Data is written to the specified address. Figure 9. [Data R/W] Window [Address] Box: Input data write address in hexadecimal numbers.
[AKD4497-SA] 3. [Sequence]: Sequence Dialog Box Click the [Sequence] button in the main window for Sequence dialog box. Register sequence may be set and executed. Figure 10. [Sequence] Window ~ Sequence Setting ~ Set register sequence according to the following process.
[AKD4497-SA] 2. Input Sequence [Address]: Data Address [Data]: Write Data [Mask]: Mask This value “ANDed” with the write data becomes the input data. When Mask = 0x00, current setting is hold. When Mask = 0xFF, the 8bit data which is set in the [Data] box is written.
