If the DS9123O is connected when the DS2775–
DS2778 EV kits start, the software starts up automati-
cally. If it is not connected, the Select Preferences
window opens (Figure 3).
In this window, select either Serial Port or USB and the
Port Number, then click OK. The DS2775–DS2778 EV
kit software saves this port selection and automatically
uses the selection each time the program starts. To
change the port later, click the Preferences option

(Figure 10) on the menu bar, select Edit Preferences,
and then select the appropriate port. To attempt to
automatically locate the DS9123O or DS9123, click the
Poll Ports button. Warning: Automatically polling for
the DS9123 can disrupt other devices connected to
your computer’s COM ports.
Several pulldown menu options are provided to simplify
using the DS2775–DS2778 EV kit software. Their func-
tions are individually detailed in the following sections.
The File menu (Figure 4) allows the user to store and
recall information to and from a file directly into the text
boxes on the Parameters tab (Figure 24). These func-
tions do not directly write or read the DS2775–DS2778.
It is still necessary for the user to store or recall this
information to or from the device by clicking on the
Write & Copy or Recall & Read buttons on the
Parameters tab (Figure 24).
The Registers Menu (Figure 5) gives immediate
access to all seven status and function registers of the
DS2775–DS2778. Selecting any of the registers opens
an individual control window, giving the user a descrip-
tion of each register bit and the ability to read or write it.
