ADS1278EVM-PDK: ADS1278 EVM Labview code password

Hi Wilbur,

The latest version of ADCPro shouldn't have any password protection in the source files and you can find the files for ADS1278 in the Plugins > EVM >  ADS1278 directory. If your version of ADCPro is password protected, you may want to try redownloading and installing the latest version!

Best,

No change. All the files in the adcpro_v2.zip folder are password protected.

Hi Wilbur,

I don't think you  need access to the files in that zip folder as they are mostly redundant or archived versions of  the items in the main ADCPro directory. 

That said, what are you aiming to accomplish with this? Typically when we see customers wanting to interface the EVM to their system they just directly connect to the ADC and don't use the MMB0. Honestly I think this will be a huge effort to adapt the code and GUI if you aren't using the same processor. Furthermore, I just want to warn you that these GUIs are not typically developed in-house so we will not be able to offer you any technical support along the way unless it is strictly with regards to the ADS1278 or the unmodified GUI operation (i.e. I can't give you any insight into how any of the GUI code actually works because I don't know).

Best,

Zak

Our product will have the ADC1278 imbedded in it so (due to limited resources) we want to take advantage of using your Labview code and the DSP on the EVM motherboard to interface with our system. The problem we run into is that your Labview code apparently looks for a EEPROM code that resides on the ADS1278 module and crashes without being able to find it when connected to our 1278 board. That zip folder contains the source code for the Labview program and we have a Labview expert. Our desire is to modify your code to fix the interface to communicate with our 1278 as well as some of the timing issues that cause frequent crashes in the code of the original design. The current ADCPRO has many of the test features we need to analyze our system performance (FFT, Histograms, data capture ).

Additional note : The ADS1278EVM-PDK does not allow for use of the SPI interface. We want to modify to use SPI. this would allow us to make a test interface to an ADS1278 board with the DSP used for datacapture and analysis

This is a step in the right direction. My Labview guy says he can now open the files but there are some missing libraries or modules. They may be elsewhere in the installed directories so we need a couple days to list them all and search the directories. Thanks.
