Datasheet

Using the ADS1298ECG-FE Software

www.ti.com

The CONTINUOUS control starts a repeated acquisition process. This function acquires the requested

samples and repeats the data acquisition until the button is turned off. Within a single acquisition cycle,

the points will be contiguous, but from acquisition to acquisition, there may be points missing.

The Analysis Data input referred checkbox changes the displayed data that is read from the ADC.

Checking the box displays the data input referred, while not checking displays the data as converted.

The Show/Poll Lead Off Status displays a window (see Figure 7) that shows the status of the Lead-Off

status registers, LOFF STATP and LOFF STATN, of the ADS1298. When the lead for the channel is

disconnected, the corresponding channel LED changes from green to red.
