USING THE EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

The control software for the EV-ADF4360-7EB1Z accompanies
the EV-ADF4360-7EB1Z on a CD. To install the software, see
the Evaluation Board Software Quick Start Procedures section.
To run the software, click the ADF4360.exe file on the desktop
or in the Start menu.
The main interface window appears (see Figure 10). Confirm
that Analog Devices RFG.L Eval Board connected is displayed
at the top of the window. Otherwise, the software has no connec-
tion to the evaluation board.
The evaluation board can be connected and disconnected while
the software is running. Note that when connecting the board,
it takes about 5 seconds for the status label to change.
Under the File menu, the current settings can be saved to, and
loaded from, a text file.
Use the REF IN Frequency text box to set correct reference
frequency and the reference frequency divider. The reference
TCXO on the evaluation board runs at 10 MHz.
The Settings section controls the charge pump current setting,
the output power setting, and the multiplexer output setting.

Use the Frequency Settings section to control the output
frequency. The user can input the desired output frequency
in the RF Output Frequency text box (in megahertz).
In the Registers tab, the user can manually input the desired
value to be written to the registers.
In the Sweeps and hop tab, the user can make the device sweep
a range of frequencies, or hop between two set frequencies.
In the Latches to write section, at the bottom of the window,
the values to be written to each register are displayed. If the
background on the text box is green, then the value displayed
is different to the value actually on the device. Click Write x
counter Latch to write that value to the device.
The F2, F3, and F4 keys switch between the three tabs. F12
increases the output frequency by one channel spacing and
writes it to the device. F11 decreases the output frequency by
one channel spacing.
