The
ADS86xxEVM Settings
button on the left side of the GUI window describes the jumper settings on
the ADS86xxEVM. The reset and REFSEL jumpers are monitored by the GUI. If the reset jumper (J3) is
open, the GUI switches to the reset Program mode in the start page of the GUI. For details on different

ADC Capture Settings
box. The
ADS86xxEVM GUI supports a sampling rate from 20 kSPS to 500 kSPS. The sampling rate is adjusted to
the closest value obtained from
.
Sampling Rate (kSPS) = 17000 / [34 + K] ......... for the ADS8688A, ADS8678, and ADS8668 Devices
(1)
Sampling Rate (kSPS) = 18000 / [36 + K] ........ for the ADS8698 device
where

The GUI supports a capture of 1024 samples to 8,388,608 samples. For sampling rates less than
100 kSPS, the maximum number of samples are limited to 131,072 per capture. The number of samples
are adjusted to the closest power of 2. The data captured are displayed in a graph in the GUI window.
