ADS127L01EVM: Load file to Analysis Engine for Delta-Sigma ADC EvaluaTIon issue

Part Number: ADS127L01EVM

I am attempting to use the Standard File Example, located in Appendix D of the Delta-Sigma ADC EvaluaTIon Software User Manual. I have copied the example text file, and ensured that the colimns are tab-delimited. However when I load the file to the Analysis Engine, it seems to want more fields than are provided in the example file from Appendix D.

Attached is the error message and my sample data file. Is the format of my file out of date? Or am I missing a step?

    Hello Rahul,

    Thank you for your post. 

    (Revising my initial reply)

    Are you trying to import data that was collected elsewhere by pasting it into a text file with the above format?

    The Data Analysis window allows you to save the data into the file format shown in the Delta-Sigma EvaluaTIon User Manual. Section D1 is showing how the GUI will save the data from the Data Analysis window when the Standard File format is selected. If you want to reimport that data at a later time, the file headers should already be properly designated.

    Let me know if I've misunderstood your question.

    Regards,

    Ryan

    Hi Rahul,

    I was able to find an ADS127L01EVM faster than I expected. Below is an example of the Standard File format that is available when saving data from the Data Analysis window.

    Thank you Ryan! I eventually found that as well. Seems like the file format was a bit out of date in the manual.
