- 6 - rev. 0 EVAL-AD7707EB ad7707 software description the ad7707 evaluation board is shipped with a 3?" disk containing software that can be installed onto a standard pc to control the ad7707. the software uses the printer port of the pc to communicate with the EVAL-AD7707EB, so a centronics printer cable is used to connect the pc to the evaluation board. software requirements and installation the software runs under windows 3.1? or windows 95? and typically requires 4mb of ram. to install the software the user should start windows and use either file manager (in windows 3.1) or windows explorer (in windows 95) to locate the file called setup.exe on the floppy disk. double clicking on this file will start the installatio n procedure. the user is prompted for a destination directory which is "c:\ad7707" by default. once the directory has been selected the installation procedure will copy the files into the relevant directories on the hard drive. the installation progr am will create a program group called "analog devices" on the desktop for windows 3.1 or in the "start" taskbar for windows95. once the installation procedure is complete the user can double click on the ad7707 icon to start the program. features of the software 1. the software will allow the user to write to and read from all the registers of the ad7707. 2. data can be read from the ad7707 and displayed or stored for later analysis. 3. the data that has been read can be exported to other packages such as mathcad or excel for further analysis. fig. 4. the main screen
- 7 - rev. 0 EVAL-AD7707EB what follows is a description of the various windows that appear while the software is being used. fig. 4. shows the main scree n that appears once the program has started. the printer port that will be used by the software is shown in the top left of the screen. there are three possible printer ports that can be handled by the software, lpt1 (standard), lpt2 and prn. in the event that the pc has two printer ports the software will always select the one which is set as default by the pc. the user can change to the other printer port by using the "select printer port" button on the main screen. a brief description of each of the buttons on the main screen follows: program ad7707 allows the user to program the selected register for a specific channel of the ad7707. read data allows the user to read a number of samples from the ad7707. these samples can be stored for further analysis or just displayed for reference. noise analysis allows the user to perform noise analysis on the data that has been read in. reset ad7707 allows the user to perform a reset on the ad7707. read from file allows the user to read in previously stored data for display or analysis. write to file allows the user to write the current set of data to a file for later use. select printer port allows the user to change which printer port the software uses (only valid for pcs with more than one printer port). about provides information about the version of software being used. quit ends the program fig. 5. the program ad7707 screen
- 8 - rev. 0 EVAL-AD7707EB the program ad7707 screen fig. 5. shows the screen that appears when the program ad7707 button is selected. this screen allows the user to select which register is to be programmed. before selecting any of the buttons on this screen the user should first choose the channel that is to be used for all the subsequent operations. the state of the standby bit should also be selected here. the setup register screen fig. 6. shows the setup register screen. when the screen is loaded the software will read the current contents from the setup register of the ad7707 and change the option buttons accordingly. the setup register is used to change the operating mode of the ad7707, change the gain setting, set the part to bipolar or unipolar mode, set the part to buffered or unbuffered mode and select the state of the fsync bit. every time a change is made the software will write the new conditions to the ad7707 and read back the setup register for confirmation. fig. 6. the setup screen when the user selects a calibration, the software will start the calibration by writing to the ad7707 and then monitor the drdy. a falling edge of the drdy pin will indicate that the calibration has been completed. after a calibration the ad7707 returns to its normal operating mode and the program updates the screen to indicate this. the default status for the setup register on power-up is 01 (hex). the clock register screen fig. 7. shows the clock register setup screen. the clock register is used to control the output update rate of the ad7707. the clkdis bit is used to control the operation of the mclkout pin. a logic 0 in this bit allows the ad7707 to function in its normal operating mode when a crystal oscillator is used as the clock source. a logic 1 disables the mclkout from appearing at the pin. when disabled the mclkout pin is forced low. if the ad7707 is using a crystal oscillator as the clock then disabling the mclkout will stop the clock and no conversions will be done by the ad7707. the user should consult the datasheet for more information on the use of the clkdis bit.
- 9 - rev. 0 EVAL-AD7707EB the clkdiv is used to set the internal operating frequency of the ad7707. the user should consult the datasheet for more information on the use of the clkdiv bit. fig. 7. the clock register screen the clk bit is used in conjunction with the output update rate buttons to select the output update rate. if the ad7707 is being operated with a clock of 4.9152mhz (clkdiv=1) or 2.4576mhz (clkdiv=0) then this bit should be set to a 1 giving a choice of 50hz, 60hz, 250hz or 500hz as an output update rate. if the ad7707 is being operated with a clock of 2mhz (clkdiv=1) or 1mhz (clkdiv=0) then this bit should be set to a 0 giving a choice of 20hz, 25hz, 100hz or 200hz as an output update rate. the power-on/reset status of this register is 05 hex. fig. 7. the calibration registers screen
- 10 - rev. 0 EVAL-AD7707EB the calibration registers screen fig. 8. shows the calibration registers screen. when this screen is displayed the values of the gain and offset registers are read from the ad7707 and displayed. the user has the ability to change the values of either register if required. the default value for the fullscale cal register is 5761ab hex and the default value for the zero scale cal register is 1f4000 hex. the read data screen fig. 9. shows the read data screen. this is where the user can read a number of samples from the ad7707. the user has the option of either reading data for analysis or display. when the read for analysis button is selected the software will read the required number of samples from the ad7707 and store them in an array so that they can be graphed or analysed later. it is possible to read upto 5000 samples at any one time although only 3000 can be displayed on a graph. fig. 9. the read data screen when the read for display button is selected the software will read one sample from the ad7707 and display its value in the current code text box. the software will continue to read and display the samples until a key has been pressed. it is possible to add a delay to the read cycle by checking the use delay value checkbox. if the box is checked the software will wait the required number of milliseconds between reading samples. it should be noted however that the accuracy of the time delay can be affected by other programs running under windows, therefore this method is not suitable where equidistant sampling is required. the noise analysis screen once data has been read from the ad7707 it is possible to perform some analysis on it. fig. 10. shows the noise analysis screen. this screen displays the maximum and minimum codes read from the ad7707 (in decimal and hexadecimal), as well as the average code, the average voltage and the rms and peak-peak noise values. from this screen it is possible to display the data on a graph or as a histogram of codes. figures 11 and 12 show the graph and histogram screens.
- 11 - rev. 0 EVAL-AD7707EB fig. 10. the noise analysis screen fig. 11. the graph screen the graph screen this screen displays the data in graph format. a rolling average feature is available by selecting the rolling average button. by default this is a 5 point rolling average but this can be changed to any integer between 1-99. the list codes button allows the user to view all the codes and the number of occurences of these codes.
