The DAC8742H EVM
Register Map
page (
Figure 7
) allows the user to access low-level communication
directly with the DAC8742H registers. Selecting a register on the Register Map list will present a
description of the values in that register as well as show information on the address, default value, size,
and current value of the register. Values are read and written to the registers by writing to the “Value” or
bit field of the GUI.
