OVERVIEW OF THE MAIN WINDOW

The main window of the AD717x Eval+ software displays the
significant control buttons and analysis indicators of the AD717x
Eval+ software. The main window is divided into five tabs.
•
Configuration
•
Waveform
•
Histogram
•
Modelled Performance
•
Registers

CONFIGURATION TAB (1)

Figure 16 shows the Configuration tab when Hardware Mode
is selected and Figure 17 shows the Configuration tab when
Simulation mode is selected. The controls highlighted in
Figure 17 are only available in Simulation mode.
Evaluation Mode (2)
The Evaluation Mode indicator displays the current evaluation
mode. To switch between modes, click the Select Product
button and the dialog box shown in Figure 13 appears.
Tutorial Button (3)
Click the tutorial button to open a tutorial and access additional
information on using the AD717x Eval+ software.

Functional Block Diagram (4)
The functional block diagram of the ADC shows each of the
separate functional blocks within the ADC. Clicking a
configuration pop-up button on any of the functional blocks
opens the configuration pop-up window for the block selected.
Not all blocks have a configuration button.
Configuration Pop-up Button (5)
Each configuration pop-up button opens a different window
that allows the configuration of the relevant functional block.
Analog and Digital Supply Voltage (6, 7, and 14)
These input fields are used to take the supply voltage levels
selected for the AD7173-8. Checks are performed to ensure the
power supply voltage levels entered are within the specified
limits. These power supply voltage levels are also used for the
modelled performance to calculate the power dissipation.
External Reference (Ext. REF) (8)
The Ext. REF input fields set the positive and negative external
reference voltage values. The difference is used for calculating
the results for both the Waveform and Histogram tabs. The
evaluation board has an external 5 V
can be bypassed by removing R32. Change the external
reference values in Ext. REF to ensure correct calculation of
results in the Waveform and Histogram tabs.
