ADS124S08EVM: Delta-Sigma ADC EvaluaTIon Software - ANALYSIS Command, multiple inputs, multiple Data Analysis windows

Hi Matteo,

1. Is it possible to acquire one signal then switch inputs and acquire a second channel via a script?

Unfortunately no, the basic scripting function does not allow this approach.  The signaling between the GUI and the firmware would require an extensive change to the code and it was decided not to implement this type of feature.  Also, this level of scripting is more like building a system as opposed to evaluation of the ADC which is the primary purpose of the EVM.

2. The ANALYSIS command does not open the Data Analysis Tool correctly.

I assume you referring to the scripting.  Most likely this is a timing error between the GUI and the firmware.  Adding some delay prior to the ANALYSIS command may be of some help.

3. If I open two or more Data Analysis Tool windows and I click Collect they are all updated with the latest data.

This is by design of the GUI.  The benefit of using multiple windows is you can observe the raw data, the time domain and the histogram all at the same time.  The GUI will broadcast the latest collected data through a TCP/IP socket to all listeners at the same time so that all clients get the same data and update at the same time.

Best regards,
