MAX11600–MAX11617 Evaluation System
Detailed Description of Software
The MAX11600–MAX11617 EV system software
supports all the MAX11600–MAX11617 ADC devices.
When the EV system software starts up, select the appro-
priate device from the Select the ADC device drop-
down list shown in Figure 1. Press the Select button to
bring up the main software window.
The main window of the evaluation software (Figure 2)
contains a Device Configuration group box, a Data
Logging group box, and four tab sheets to display the
sampled data.
Device Configuration
The Device Configuration group box is used to
configure the selected ADC device.
Use the drop-down list in the Ref Voltage and AIN_/REF
Setting group box to select the source of the voltage ref-
erence and configure the properties of the AIN_/REF pin
of the ADC device. If the source of the voltage reference
is set to VDD or external reference, enter the actual volt-
age value in the Reference Voltage edit box. This value
is used to calculate the voltage from the ADC code.
The drop-down list in the Channel Select group box
configures the ADC’s channel-selection register that
determines the analog input channels to be used for
conversion. Press the Info button to bring up a channel-
selection table for reference (Figure 3).
In the Scan Mode group box, use the drop-down list to
select one of the four scan modes. Press the Info button
to bring up a scanning configuration table for reference
(Figure 4).
