3.3 Evaluation Application
The user can test the ATA8352 device operating modes using an evaluation application. This evaluation application uses the demo kit setup, as shown in Figure 3-1 or Figure 3-2, with a USB connection to the PC and a PC Terminal application program (TeraTerm or similar setup with 115.2 kBaud, 8-bit data, 1 stop bit). The test application shows a test menu in the PC Terminal window (see the following figure).
The evaluation application switches the device into different operating modes until the user aborts the mode by making an entry (typically the letter ‘q'). During evaluation of the modes, the PC Terminal application displays the result data. The following table describes the operating modes or parameters that the user can select.
