Standalone mode is useful for viewing and generating register
setup files.
See the Evaluation Board Hardware section for instructions to

register settings for a given PLL setup.
If the evaluation board is connected while the evaluation
software is running, the window in Figure 2 appears to prompt
the user to load the evaluation board with the evaluation
software settings or read the evaluation board with the
evaluation software settings.
