Software User Interface
When the software is first opened, the default user
interface will be displayed as shown below.
Figure 4. DSA Evaluation Software User
The Control Interface options are dependant on
the Programming Modes available for each
individual product. See datasheet for supported
control interfaces.
Figure 9 (page 6) shows an example of the
appearance of the programming window when the
“Display Waveform” box is checked.

Interface
Control Functions
The control functions are described as follows:
Product: A pull-down list of supported DSA part
numbers. Select the correct part number as per
the shipped EVK.
Control Interface: Select the desired control
interface from Direct-Parallel, Serial, Serial-
Addressable, and Latched-Parallel options.
Address: A pull-down list of available addresses,
active only when Serial-Addr control interface is
enabled. Prior to programming, the user must
define an address setting before selecting the
desired attenuation in the Attenuation window.
See datasheet for details.
Attenuation: A pull-down list of all attenuation
states available for the selected part number.
Highlight the desired attenuation value to program
the attenuation state. With the exception of
Latched-Parallel mode, the software automatically
programs the DSA each time an attenuation state
is selected.
Direct-Parallel: When this mode is selected,
multiple parallel control lines are used to
program attenuation states. This is the
recommended evaluation interface.
Serial: When this mode is selected, Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) is used to program
attenuation states.
Serial-Addr: When this mode is selected,
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is used to
program attenuation states to a specific
address. Address is assigned in the Address
window.
Latched-Parallel: When this mode is
selected, multiple parallel control lines are used
to program attenuation states only when LE is
pulsed logic high to logic low. The “Send
Latch” button performs this function.
