In order to provide a quick evaluation of the IC performance using the TI EVM and GUI without having to develop sophisticated 8051 µP software, the GUI provides an intuitive interface tab, Evaluation Tab, that collects all necessary information regarding the transducer drive and receive. For transducer drive, it includes: transducer frequency; transducer drive voltage, VREG; transformer configuration; and number of drive pulses. For transducer signal receive, it includes signal-processing parameters: LNA gain setting; BPF and LPF coefficient; clock selection; FIFO mode; and FIFO downsample size.
Fill out the "Evaluation" tab with the values shown in Figure 15.
Use the "Eval Monitor" tab to send bursts and view the resulting echo data.
After all information is entered, make sure the device is in the micro reset state, then hit the Transducer Drive and Receive button to start the burst and receive.
