NEW SOFTWARE FOR THE DDC112 EVALUATION FIXTURE
By Jim Todsen
This application bulletin describes the operation of a new
version, Ver 2.0, of the evaluation software. Available for
download from Burr-Brown鈥檚 web site, this new software
keeps the same look and feel as the original version while
adding additional features. This application bulletin assumes
you are familiar with the basic operation of the DDC112 and
have used the earlier version of the software. Only the new
features are discussed. When running the DDC112 Evalua-
tion Fixture for the first time, get a copy of the data sheet for
the DDC112鈥檚 Evaluation Fixture DEM-DDC112U-C which
explains how to use the original version of the software and
read it first. The explanations will still be helpful as the basic
operation of the software has not changed with Ver 2.0.
As with the earlier version, Ver 2.0 runs under DOS using
a mouse-based windows environment. Figure 1 shows the
main window at startup. It can be run under Windows 95 or
98 using a DOS program shortcut. Ver 2.0 uses the same
name, 鈥淒DC112.CFG鈥? for the ASCII file that stores the
software configuration and, as with the earlier version, if the
software finds this file when loading, it uses it to set the
various parameters such as the DDC112鈥檚 range, integration
time, etc. When this file can鈥檛 be found, the software uses the
default values. Any changes made to the settings in the
course of running the software are saved upon exiting. Ver
2.0 does add two additional parameters to the configuration
file: SCLK Speed and Osc Freq. Table I shows the complete
