ADS1675REF Plug-in Operation
7.3
Evaluating with the ADCPro Software
The evaluation software is based on ADCPro, a program that operates using a variety of plug-ins. To use
ADCPro, you must load both a REF plug-in and a test plug-in. To load a REF plug-in, select it from the
REF 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 type of plug-in (REF and Test) can be loaded at a time. If you select a different plug-in,
the previous plug-in is unloaded.
7.4
Using the ADC1675REF Plug-in
The ADS1675REF plug-in for ADCPro provides complete control over all settings of the ADS1675. It
consists of a tabbed interface (see
), with all of the functions available on the main tab. The
controls on the main tab are described in this section.
You can adjust the ADS1675REF settings when you are not acquiring data. During acquisition, all controls
are disabled and settings may not be changed.
When you change a setting on the ADS1675REF plug-in, the setting is immediately updated on the board.
Settings on the ADS1675REF correspond to settings described in the ADS1675 data sheet; see the
(available for download at the
) for details.
Because the effective data rate of the ADS1675 depends on settings of the Comm Mode (either LVDS or
CMOS, as
shows) and the FPATH selection (either Low-Latency or Wide-Bandwidth, as
illsutrated in
), and the Data Rate, the Data Rate indicator (displayed in the upper right corner of
the plug-in interface; see
and
) is always visible and updated whenever a setting is
changed that affects the data rate.
