ADS131B04-Q1EVM: decode bin file?

What do I use to decode the .bin file the utility generates?

    Hi Dean,

    Would you confirm what you're looking to accomplish?  The .bin file we use in our FPGA will not function as a generic FPGA code example for the ADS131B04 because our EVM platforms implement a generic pattern generator in the FPGA which has a lot of extra overhead, setup, and configurability versus directly coding patterns to talk with the ADS131B04.

    Thanks, Collin. I believe Dean is referring to the BIN files used to save the raw ADC data as shown below (Dean - please confirm this is what you meant).

    One option I believe you can use is a plugin called "HexEditor" for Notepad++. Honestly, I find this rather difficult to use and I'm not yet convinced how the data from the PHI controller board is being parsed and displayed.

    A more direct and simpler approach, I think, would be to right-click on the plot displaying the ADC channel data from the last capture and select either:

    1. Export -> Export Data To Clipboard. Data can be pasted directly into Excel or another program.
    2. Export -> Export Data to Excel. Data is exported directly to a new Excel file.

    Regards,
