Hi,
I'm using the DAC8832 Rev A EVM with the DAC Exerciser software to create an arbitrary wave from a file and I think my issue is with the data format. I'm trying to create an arbitrary waveform with the "Waveform File Converter" but the wave is not showing up. Here's what I do.
I have a .txt file with binary (00000000,11111111,10010110...).
I go to Utilities - Waveform File Converter and select that .txt file with Delimiter=Comma, File contains=Waveform Points, Data-rate=1.00MSPS, Output Type=Unformatted File (Single-Channel)
Save file as "DAC8832_1.000MSPS_18_Oct_16.tiwu", "File Conversion Complete" - OK
Then I go back and select Waveform Type: User, and I select the file. Data format is Straight Binary.
I click Run DAC and nothing happens on the output. It might jump to a value but it doesn't follow the binary.
I've gotten other waves out, just not user. Somewhere it says there's a sample file in Documents-DXP but I couldn't find it anywhere. What's the proper format for these .txt files? And am I doing anything else wrong?
Thanks,
-Sam
