GUI APPLICATION

Engineering Tab
The Engineering tab is an advanced debugging tool which
allows high-speed reading of any register. Register group-
ings can be displayed by activating the checkboxes in the
Categories section.
To read a register, simply double-click the register name or
value. To read all shown registers, double-click anywhere
in the empty background space. To continuously read all
shown registers, right-click and select Continuous Read
from the context menu. When continuously reading, the
GUI will poll all of the displayed registers as fast as pos-
sible. By default, a register entry will flash green when the
new data is different from the previous data; this can be
changed in the right-click context menu.
To write a register, right-click on a writable register and
select Write... from the context menu. This will bring up
a dialog with a few options for writing values.
DEMO MANUAL DC2973A
For detailed information about a register, hovering over it
for about a second will display the same tool tips as are
visible in the other tabs of the GUI.
By default, register entries are displayed as formatted
decimal values or Booleans. This can be changed to raw
binary or hexadecimal notation by right-clicking on an
entry and choosing Select Format.
Tabs can be added to the Engineering view by clicking
the + button in the top-right corner. This allows the user
to change between viewing different register groupings
at ease.
Consult the Help Guide for more detail on the
Engineering tab.
