MCEDesigner setup overview
MCEDesigner is a tool that can be used for programming code and tuning the evaluation board, including the
possibility to read from 16-bit MCE variable registers, and to read/write to MCE parameter registers. MCEDesigner
displays both real and counts value for all variable registers, and selects parameter registers. The count value
means to convert the real value to digital number.
The registers’ value format can be selected from “Performance
