SOFTWARE OPERATION
The main window of the EVAL-AD5204SDZ software includes
the following features:
The REGISTER ACCESS section can be used to update
the RDAC registers by typing a value and clicking
WRITE.
Alternatively, you can send a customized SPI data-word by
switching the scroll bars from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0, as
desired, and then clicking
SEND DATA. When WRITE is
clicked or a quick command is executed, a write and read
operation is performed, and the values displayed in this
section are updated with the actual RDAC register values.
This function can be used to verify whether the write
operation was completed successfully. The scroll bars are
updated upon each write transfer.
Clicking /SHUTDOWN enables or disables the AD5204
SHDN
pin.
Clicking /PRESET enables or disables the AD5204
PR
pin.
Clicking EXIT closes the program but does not reset the
part.
