When the software recognizes the board, double click on the icon in the Start view to open the main window as shown in Figure 11.
Ensure that you already have the AD717x-8 board plug-in in the plug-in manager.
By clicking on the part in the main ACE software window (see Figure 11), the AD7173-8 chip view opens (Figure 12).
The chip view shows the block diagram of the AD7173-8. This tab allows the user to select inputs, set up the ADC, reset the ADC, and view errors present, as well as configure the device for different demonstration modes. Figure 12 shows the chip view in detail, and the following sections discuss the different elements on the chip view of the software window.
Quick Configuration Tab
The QUICK CONFIGURATION tab shows a block diagram of the AD7173-8. This tab allows the user to select inputs, set up the ADC, reset the ADC, and view errors present, as well as configure the device.
The ACE software features a quick configuration tab to configure the AD7173-8 through the following:
► Functional block diagram: the functional block diagram of the AD7173-8 (Label 1 in Figure 12) shows each of the functional blocks within the AD7173-8. Click a functional block on this diagram to open the configuration pop-up window for that block.
► Configuration pop-up button: each block has a pop-up window (Label 2 in Figure 12) which opens a different window to configure the relevant block.
► External parameters: the following are the four external parameters that are set by the EVAL-AD7173-8ARDZ but must be entered into the software:
► AVDD1 and AVDD2 (Label 3 in Figure 12)
► Ext. REF− and Ext. REF+ (Label 4 in Figure 12)
► IOVDD (Label 5 in Figure 12)
► AVSS (Label 6 in Figure 12)
The external reference on the EVAL-AD7173-8ARDZ is set to 2.5V by using the ADR4525. If bypassing the ADR4525 on the board, change the external reference voltage value in the software to ensure correct calculation of results in the Waveform and Histogram tabs in the waveform analysis window.
► Status bar: the status bar (Label 7 in Figure 12) displays status updates.
► Memory map button: opens the Memory Map tab.
► Waveform analysis button: opens the Waveform tab.
Waveform Tab
The Waveform tab can display the different waveforms for voltage input, current input and select the channel. The waveform tab graphs the conversions gathered and processes the data, calculating the peak-to-peak noise, RMS noise, and resolution.
The ACE software features different configuration settings to display results through the following:
► Waveform graph and controls: the data waveform graph (Label 10 in Figure 13) shows each successive sample of the ADC output. Zoom in on the data in the graph using the control toolbar (Label 11 in Figure 13). Change the scales on the graph by typing values into the x-axis and y-axis fields.
► Samples: the samples numeric control (Label 12 in Figure 13) sets the number of samples gathered per batch.
► Serial interface and internal reference: sets the ADC mode, enables DATA_STAT and internal reference (Label 13 in Figure 13).
► Run: click Run Once or Run Continuously (Label 14 in Figure 13) to start gathering ADC results. If Run Once is clicked, the ADC returns the number of samples specified by the samples control. If Run Continuously, the ADC continuously returns samples until stopped by the user. Samples specify the amounts of samples to be shown on the data graph. This control is unrelated to the ADC mode. Results appear in the waveform graph (Label 10 in Figure 13).
► Channel selection: the channel selection control (Label 15 in Figure 13) selects which channel is displayed on the data waveform. These controls only affect the waveform graphs and have no effect on the channel settings in the ADC register map.
► Display units and axis controls: click the units dropdown box (Label 16 in Figure 13) to select whether the data graph displays in units of voltages/amps or codes. This control is independent for each graph.
► Results pane: the RESULTS pane (Label 17 in Figure 13) displays parametric values for the selected display format. The bottom of the RESULTS pane also has buttons that allow the user to import or export sample data.
Histogram Tab
The Histogram tab generates a histogram using the gathered samples and processes the data, calculating the peak-to-peak noise, RMS noise, and resolution. The ACE software features a histogram tab that can be configured through the following:
► Histogram graph and controls: the data histogram graph (Label 18 in Figure 14) shows the number of times each sample of the ADC output occurs. Zoom in on the data using the control toolbar (Label 19 in Figure 14) in the graph.
► Channel selection: the channel selection control (Label 20 in Figure 14) selects which channel is displayed on the data waveform.
These controls only affect the waveform graphs and have no effect on the channel settings in the ADC register map.
► Display units and axis controls: click the units dropdown box (Label 21 in Figure 14) to select whether the data graph displays in units of voltages/amps or codes. This control is independent for each graph.
Memory Map
The ACE software features a memory map as an additional method to configure the AD7173-8 through the following:
► Register tree: the register maps nested list (Label 22 in Figure 15) shows the full register map in a tree control. Each register is shown. Click the expand button next to each register to show all the bit fields contained within that register.
► Register tree search: the register tree search box (Label 23 in Figure 15) allows the user to search the tree for any register or bit field. Enter a value into this field to filter the register tree.
► Register and bit field control: the register and bit field control section (Label 24 in Figure 15) allows the user to change the individual bit of the register selected in the register tree by clicking the bits or by programming the register value directly into the number control field (Label 25 in Figure 15). This control also shows all bit fields for the selected register. Change the values by using a dropdown box (Label 26 in Figure 15) or by selecting or clearing a checkbox (Label 27 in Figure 15).
► Documentation: the bit field documentation (Label 28 in Figure 15) contains the documentation for the register or the bit field selected. This field can be updated by selecting a register or bit field in the register tree or hovering over the register or bit field in the register tree or register control. This documentation is displayed by clicking the button labeled 28 in Figure 15.
