Software Overview
5.6 Tools Menu
The Tools menu, located in the menu bar in the upper-left corner of the XTR108EVM-USB software,
contains additional features useful for debugging or troubleshooting. The following sections explain the
use of each option within the Tools menu.
5.6.1 Control Bits
The Control Bits window, as shown in Figure 30, enables manual control of the signals that enable and
disable the XTR108EVM Interface Board relays. The control signals are off when the control is equal to '0'
and are on when the control is equal to '1'. The functionality of each control bit is given by Table 27.
