4.
If I disconnect power from my DSPB, I lose my sigma studio configuration (the configuration
returns to default)
a. Ensure that you are writing the program to E2Prom once you are finished with
configuration. See section “Writing to E2Prom”
C. Sigma Studio Tips
1. The best tip available for SigmaStudio is to use search engines to your advantage. If you type
your question and add “sigmastudio” or “adau1701” to the end of it, you will often find you are
not the first person to have that question. The ADAU1701 has a large community of engineers
that use it, and also is very common, so support topics are plentiful.
2. Explore the program, especially the toolbox. There are a wide variety of blocks available in the
toolbox, everything from the most basic DSP functions like delays and signal addition, to
advanced dynamics processing, bass enhancement, esoteric filter types and more.
3. Right clicking schematic blocks often reveals additional control for the block
a. Example, a volume controller can be “grown” to allow for multiple inputs and outputs to
pass through a single volume controller. This is done in step 4 of the “ Creating a basic
SigmaStudio project for the DSPB ” guide.
b. Right clicking any slider allows exact values to be entered
4. Hovering over elements in SigmaStudio project files can often reveal useful context about
whatever is being hovered over.
a. Example: Hovering over a “pin” of a block will reveal what that pin is.
5. Holding control and dragging a block allows quick duplication of that block
6. Right click any block and “Disable” the cell f or quick comparison tests. You will need to link
compile download after doing this.
a. Note: The default password is blank, just press OK when prompted for a password.
7. Viewing Project Responses in Sigma Studio
a. Utilizing stimulus and probe functions allow you to see the response and phase of *your
project without needing to take measurements! Add stimulus to input, and probe to
output anywhere in your project, press the “stimulus” button, and then open the
“probe” button to view this response.
