OPERATING THE EVALUATION SOFTWARE IN 

STANDALONE MODE 

The software can run in standalone mode when no evaluation 
board hardware is connected to the USB port. Conversions cannot 
be performed in this mode, but previously acquired results can be 
loaded and viewed in the evaluation software environment. 
Selecting 

File > Load Data

 loads a dialogue box prompting the 

file to load. The results can then be viewed in the
