The evaluation software is based on ADCPro, a program that operates using a variety of plug-ins. The
ADS1672EVM plug-in is installed as described in Section 11.2 , Running the Software and Completing the
Driver Installation.
To use ADCPro, load an EVM plug-in and a test plug-in. To load an EVM plug-in, select it from the EVM
menu. To load a test plug-in, select it from the Test menu. To unload a plug-in, select the Unload option
from the corresponding menu.
Only one of each type of plug-in (EVM and Test) can be loaded at a time. If you select a different plug-in,
the previous plug-in is unloaded.
The ADS1672EVM-PDK plug-in for ADCPro provides complete control over all settings of the ADS1672. It
consists of a tabbed interface (see Figure 14 ), with all of the functions available on the main tab. The
controls on the main tab are described in this section.
You can adjust the ADS1672EVM settings when you are not acquiring data. During acquisition, all
controls are disabled and settings may not be changed.
When you change a setting on the ADS1672EVM plug-in, the setting is immediately updated on the board.
