DBK4, pg. 9
Software Controls
Power management, the PGA, and the low-pass filter’s cut-off frequency are all software controllable.
These parameters are sent via the external address bus in the P1 connector to the DBK4. The micro-
controller decodes the configuration message, sets the PGA and filter controls, and illuminates the on-
board LED. However, if transmission errors are detected, the micro-controller flashes the LED and ignores
the message. The error is cleared when an error-free message is received. At power up, the current source
and filters are powered off and the LED is off. The LED will remain off until the DBK4 is successfully
addressed for the first time.
