ADC128S102EVM: Continuous Export

Part Number: ADC128S102EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADC128S102

Hello E2E Experts,

Concerning the ADC128S102 EVM, I need to run the GUI and record measurements for ~2 minutes at a time. I know I can use continuous capture through the GUI, however it just cycles previous data and overrides it with new data every few seconds. 

Is there any other way to measure the output, or otherwise exporting all data captured instead of the most recent cycle?

  • Hello,

    Apologies for the late reply. These ADC GUIs unfortunately do not support extended capture functionality as described. It is a limitation of the speeds we can transfer data over USB, and the memory available on the PHI controller. You will then be limited to around 2 million points at a time. 

    Regards,

  • Hi Joel, thank you for your response. I understand it is a limitation of the hardware, though is there any chance I could get the source code for the GUI, in order to modify it in an attempt to measure what we are looking for?

  • Hi Clayton,

    The full stack from controller hardware to the GUI is closely dependant on each other. The GUI is built in LabView, and from what I understand depends on various proprietary DLLs, which are also hard to modify or reconfigure.

    The GUI itself was developed in hand with a contractor some time ago. We have had some cases where we would have liked to modify it, but determined the current implementation to be too opaque to make any significant changes. Newer GUIs now use a newer framework, but they are not reverse compatible.

    So in short, we can't provide the LabView source, but even if we could, I don't believe it would be too useful. Please let me know if I can help support in other ways, but any reconfiguration of the controller or GUI would be very difficult to support, as it is not necessarily intended to be portable. Even internally we have difficulties.

    Regards,
    Joel
