1.4 WHAT IS THE PIPELINE ADC UTILITY SOFTWARE?
The Pipeline ADC Utility software is the graphical user interface (GUI) used to
communicate with and to configure the operating parameters of the device. The
software communicates with the part through the data capture card via a USB cable,
allowing the user to program the internal ADC registers. When the user interacts with
the software (for example, by updating the registers), the user’s commands are passed
to the MCP37D10-200 device via the data capture card. Once the commands are
executed by the evaluation board, the software receives the requested data from the
data capture card. The software will then analyze the data, perform a FFT or other
analysis, and display the results. Refer to
Figure 1-1 for a diagram of the system setup.
Figure 1-4 shows a screen shot of the graphical interface.

The Pipeline ADC Utility software is available for download on Microchip’s website. For
instructions on using the GUI, refer to the software’s supporting documentation
included with the installation file, as well as within the application Help menu.
