Setting Up the SPIController Software
After the ADC data capture board setup is complete, set up
the SPIController software using the following procedure:
1. Open the SPIController software by selecting Start >
SPIController or by double-clicking the SPIController
software desktop icon.
If prompted for a configuration file, select the appropriate
one. If not, check the title bar of the window to determine
which configuration is loaded. If necessary, choose Cfg
Open from the File menu and select the appropriate file
based on your part type. Note that the CHIP ID(1) field
should be filled to indicate whether the correct SPI
controller configuration file is loaded (see Figure 7).

3. In the ADCBase 0 tab of the SPIController window, you
can access all global register settings (see Figure 9). See the
AD9286 data sheet; the AN-878 Application Note, High
Speed ADC SPI Control Software; and the AN-877
Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs via SPI,
for additional information.

4. Note that other settings can be changed on the ADCBase 0
page (see Figure 9) and the ADC 0 and ADC 1 pages (see
Figure 10) to set up the part in the desired mode. The
ADCBase 0 page settings affect the entire part, whereas
the settings on the ADC 0 and ADC 1 pages affect the
selected channel only. See the AD9286 data sheet; the
AN-878 Application Note, High Speed ADC SPI Control
Software; and the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to
High Speed ADCs via SPI, for additional information on
the available settings.
