SOFTWARE OPERATION
The main window of the EVA L-AD5144DBZ software has two
tabs, Visual Mode and Manual Control.
Visual Mode

ALL CHANNELS COMMANDS, INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL
COMMANDS, and a block diagram that contains boxes for

value in its respective block within the diagram. In addition,
buttons are available that allow you to change the level of some
hardware pins.
