The Data Rate of a conversion is posted in the upper left corner of the ADC1672 plug-in screen. Under
the Date Rate, a power-down switch can be implemented. This power-down affects the ADS1672 on the
EVM board. Figure 24 shows the power-down option.

After you have configured the ADS1672 for your test scenario, pressing the ADCPro Acquire button will
start the collection of the number of data points specified in the test plug-in Block Size control. The
ADS1672EVM-PDK plug-in disables all the front panel controls while acquiring data, and displays a
progress bar as shown in Figure 25 .

plug-ins, refer to the ADCPro™ Analog-to-Digital Converter Evaluation Software User's Guide .
If ADCPro stops responding while the ADS1672EVM-PDK is connected, try unplugging the power supply
from the PDK, making sure to unload and reload the plug-in before reapplying power to the PDK.
