Selecting Write All Registers refreshes all registers of
the frequency synthesizer IC. This should be selected
upon power up to ensure all registers are refreshed.
Selecting Verify Device Writes reads and verifies the
content of the registers as they are written. If a
discrepancy occurs, a pop-up window will show “Device
Write Verification Failed.” (See Figure 6.)
The data is read from the frequency synthesizer to the
PC through the AUXOUT port. Data read from this
register temporarily overrides the function programmed
to this pin.
Show VCO Tuning enables graphical, meter-type
displays of the self-tuning results of each VCO. The
VCO tuning meters are useful when selecting the
values for external inductances or monitoring lock
behavior. When the needle is at the extreme left of the
display, the VCO is operating at the lower end of its
frequency range. Similarly, when the needle is at the
extreme right of the display, the VCO is operating at the
upper end of its frequency range. (See Figure 7.)
