VisualAnalog SOFTWARE
STARTING VISUALANALOG
After installing the VisualAnalog software, a Start menu item
and a desktop icon should appear. To use the Start menu item,
click Start, select Programs, select Analog Devices, click
VisualAnalog, and select VisualAnalog.
To use the desktop icon, click the VisualAnalog icon from the
desktop.
When the program starts, a splash screen appears while loading
is in process, and the Start-Up Form appears after the splash
screen disappears.
USING THE START-UP FORM
Select the New tab at any time to load a blank canvas or a
predefined canvas template. VisualAnalog maintains a list of
templates that set up the canvas for running a common task
or interface with a particular device.
To select a canvas template, expand the Categories tree until the
appropriate device is visible. Then, select an icon in the Templates
list and click Open. VisualAnalog opens the canvas.
VisualAnalog can detect a connected ADC board if that ADC
supports a programmable SPI interface. In addition, an ADC
data capture board that supports SPI must be used. For this

autodetect to work correctly, both boards must be connected to
the computer via a USB cable and powered up before the soft­
ware is started. Windows must also recognize the ADC data
capture board to ensure correct operation. If Windows does not
recognize the board, then there is a USB problem. Refer to the
data sheet of the particular board for more information.
If VisualAnalog detects an ADC board, the software displays
information in the status bar of the start-up form. In addition, it
finds an item in the category tree that supports the ADC device.
If the software does not detect the ADC board at this point,
manually select the correct category and template.
