a software offset calibration. To do so, the user
should connect analog inputs AIN+ and AIN- to a

COLLECT: Initiates the data conversion collec-

tion: collect from file or collect from converter. To
Gain Cal - This button allows the user to perform a
collect from a file, a previously saved file from the
software gain calibration. To do this, the user ComPorts->DISK menu bar option must be select-

ence between collecting from a file and collecting
from the evaluation board. Data can only be col-
lected from the evaluation board at the converter’s
current sampling frequency, and will take much
longer than retrieving previously collected data
from a file.
Multiply Gain - The Multiply Gain (2x and 1/2)
Buttons allow the user to easily divide or multiply
the gain factor by 2. This feature can be used to dig-
itally scale the output of the part in software by fac-
tors of two.
CANCEL: This button allows the user to exit from
the COLLECT algorithm during a collection. It is
recommended that the user reset the evaluation
board after pressing this button, so that the evalua-
tion board will stop collecting data and wait for the
next command.
Cal On/Cal Off - This switch allows the user to ap-
ply the calibration values to the data collected in
the Setup Window. When the switch is in the Off
position, the collected results will reflect the raw
conversion data from the ADC. When the switch is
in the On position, the value in the Offset Box will

Two printing options are available: printing only

2.3 Data Collection Window Overview
The Data Collection Window is used to collect and
analyze data sets using the evaluation board. The
software supports Time Domain, Frequency Do-
