Preliminary Technical Data EVAL-ADM106x
1.SAVE SETTINGS TO FILE
This option launches a window shown in figure 79 that allows the
user to save the current configuration to file. There are four buttons
that may be selected in this window .
Figure 79. Save settings to file window
1. Save eval board settings:- This option will save
the evaluation board configuration to file for the
inputs to the device only.
2. Save controlling registers:- This option will
save all the configuration register data to file. This
data may be different to that of the EEPROM.
3. Save all EEPROM settings:- This option will save
the EEPROM data to file.
4. Create intel hex file:- This option will create an
industry standard intel hex file. This option only becomes
available when the <Save all EEPROM settings>
has been selected.
Once the selections have been made press <OK> . A prompt will
appear as shown in figure 80
Figure 80. Save to File prompt
If <Yes> is selected then the software will save all the controlling
registers data to EEPROM. If <No> is selected then the software
will continue without saving the controlling registers to EEPROM.
The next window to appear will be the save to file navigator as
shown in figure 81.
Figure 81. Save to File navigator
Using this standard windows tool the user is able to navigate to
a file where they wish to save their configuration file. Once the
<Save > button has been pressed the software begins a three
step save process. Firstly it reads all the registers of the device,
formats the data and saves it to a text file with checksums for
the controlling registers and the EEPROM blocks. Secondly it
recalls all the data from the saved file including checksums into
an array and thirdly it re-reads all the registers of the device
and compares it register by register to the data recalled from the
text file. A recalculation of the checksum is performed and also
compared to the checksums previously created for the text file.
A report of the save operation is then displayed as shown in
figure 81.
