ADS131A04EVM: Trouble using data analysis tab on Delta Sigma ADC Evaluation Software

Part Number: ADS131A04EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS131A04

Hi All,

I've been attempting to work the delta sigma evaulation software with my ADS131A04 EVM board but am running into some errors. The software works fine when running scripts and setting registers but when selecting the Data Analysis window the program shows no channels. Opening the log in this window shows the device attempting to connect and failing multiple times - as such capturing data does not work. I am using a windows 10 PC with the default jumper setup shown in the guide (I have adjusted the switches with known silk screen errors) - on starting the software I run the predfined setup script.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Jack,


    I'm not sure what is wrong, can you show the output in the log?

    I'm not running Windows 10 yet, but here's my sequence of events. Perhaps you can contrast your sequence with mine.

    First, I open the application and the software recognizes the device:



    You can see that the software says "Found ADS131A04...Hardware Connected!" in the lower left corner. After that, It says "Hardware Connected, Ready..."

    I'm then able to open up the Data Analysis however, I still haven't unlocked the device and may not be able to collect data. Opening up the Data Analysis window, the first thing I see is "Starting up...trying to main client". Then it shows "Connected to main app. Ready..." At this point, I still haven't unlocked the device. I don't think that collecting data will work.



    Going back to the main window. I go to the Scripts tab and use the Basic startup with Datarate @ 8kSPS. Here, I need to load the script and then click the Run button at the right side.



    After that, I'm able to go to Data Analysis window and collect data with the button on the lower right.



    Again, post back with the log, review your sequence, and if you can post some screen shots of your windows. I'll see if anyone else here has had problems with Windows 10.

  • Hi Joseph, I followed the steps as you showed - the only thing that was different was that I opened the analysis engine after running the scripts. This does not seem to make a difference and I am still getting this error:




    I'm guessing this is a Windows 10 issue as I'm having no luck.

    Thanks,
    Jack

  • Jack,



    If you've gotten this far, I think you should be able to get this to run on Windows 10.

    Just to check, can you please go to your My Documents and find the DSEvalSW folder? In that, you shoudl find Logs -> Analysis -> error.log. Can you please take that file and post it back here.

    If this file is overly large (and it can grow to a large size), delete the file and re-run the program to generate the error.log file again.

  • Hi Joseph, I've attached the error log to this mesage.

    Thanks,
    Jack

  • Jack,

    I showed the error log to one of our experts, and he says that this is the first time he's seen this error. He's not sure why this is occurring.

    It could be that port 11000 is blocked on the computer, not allowing the application to create the socket or that sockets are blocked altogether.

    You could try to run the application with admin privileges, and that may allow the application to create the socket. The other thing would be to run this application on a different computer. Perhaps a personal computer with different settings would be successful.

    Joseph Wu

  • Hi Joseph -  I've resolved the issue - my computer's internet security was blocking some of the application's functionality.

    Thanks for your help,
    Jack
