Overview of the AFE5832 EVM GUI Features

Appendix B

SLOU489 – August 2017

Overview of the AFE5832 EVM GUI Features

This section provides a quick overview of the features and functions of the AFE5832 EVM GUI. The GUI
allows the user to easily configure the various functions of the AFE such as receiver gain, bandwidth
settings, and timing or clocking control settings.

Operations in the GUI should only be performed after the status at the bottom left-hand corner of the GUI
reads

Idle

.

Furthermore, hovering over a control within any of the GUI subtabs provides a description of what the
specific control does and shows what register fields would be updated using this control. For example, in

Figure 46

hovering over ‘LNA_HPF_PROG’ or its corresponding drop-down menu brings up a light yellow

box describing what this control is responsible for and what register it corresponds to.

Figure 46. AFE5832: Hovering Over Controls

The 5 main tabs and their subtabs are as follows:

Quick Setup

HSDC Pro Related Parameters

fsamp

ADC Input Target Frequency

DUT Reset and Initialize Device
