Evaluating Performance with the ADCPro Software
The evaluation software is based on ADCPro, a program that operates using a variety of plug-ins. To use
ADCPro, load an EVM plug-in and a test plug-in. To load an EVM plug-in, select it from the EVM menu.
To load a test plug-in, select it from the Test menu. To unload a plug-in, select the Unload option from the
corresponding menu.
Only one of each kind of plug-in can be loaded at a time. If you select a different plug-in, the previous
plug-in is unloaded.

Using the ADS1115EVM-PDK Plug-in
The ADS1115EVM-PDK plug-in for ADCPro provides complete control over all settings of the ADS1115. It
consists of a tabbed interface (see
), with different functions available on different tabs. These
controls are described in this section.
You can adjust the ADS1115EVM settings when you are not acquiring data. During acquisition, all
controls are disabled and settings may not be changed. The ADS1115EVM plug-in always collects data
from both ADS1115 devices on the EVM, so you must be sure to have both devices configured as desired
in order to collect meaningful data.
When you change a setting on the ADS1115EVM plug-in, the setting immediately updates on the board.
Settings on the ADS1115EVM correspond to settings described in the
(available for download at
) for details.
