USING THE EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
The control software for the EVAL-ADF4360-xEBZ1
accompanies the EVA L-ADF4360-xEBZ1 on a CD. To install
the software, see the Evaluation Board Software Quick Start
Procedures section.
To run the software, click the ADF4360.exe file on the desktop
or in the Start menu.
The main interface window appears (Figure 8). Confirm that
Analog Devices RFG.L Eval Board connected is displayed at
the top of the window. Otherwise, the software has no connection
to the evaluation board.
The evaluation board can be connected and disconnected while
the software is running. Note that when connecting the board,
it takes about 5 seconds for the status label to change.
Under the File menu, the current settings can be saved to, and
loaded from, a text file.
Use the REF IN Frequency text box to set the correct reference
frequency and the reference frequency divider. The reference
TCXO on the evaluation board runs at 10 MHz.
The Settings section controls the charge pump current setting,
the output power setting, and the multiplexer output setting.
Use the Frequency Settings section to control the output
frequency. The user can input the desired output frequency
in the RF Output Frequency text box (in megahertz).
In the Registers tab, the user can manually input the desired
value to be written to the registers.
In the Sweep and hop tab, the user can make the device sweep
a range of frequencies, or hop between two set frequencies.
In the Latches to write section, at the bottom of the window,
the values to be written to each register are displayed. If the
background on the text box is green, then the value displayed
is different to the value actually on the device. Click Write x
Latch to write that value to the device.
The Write All Latches button writes to each register.
The F2, F3, and F4 keys switch between the three tabs.
