Updating Firmware
The modules are shipped from the factory pre-loaded with Firmware. If this is not the case or a firmware update is required, please follow these instructions: Updating Firmware.
Installing GUI PC Demo Software Environment
The AnalogMAX-01 uses a Jupyter Notebook environment for the demo The AnalogMAX-DAQ1/2/3 products may be used with either a Jupyter Notebook or with the standalone Windows application DAQCapture.
The two software environments both support the following functionality on the AnalogMAX-DAQ1/2/3 products:
- Configuration of gain
- Configuration of sample record size
- Enable/Disable of internal signal generator loopback
The two software environments differ in the following ways:
Jupyter Notebook
The Jupyter Notebook demo software supports both types of products: AnalogMAX-01 and AnalogMAX-DAQ1/2/3. It is flexible and extensible and acts as a starting point for users who desire a starting point that they plan to extend. The Jupyter Notebook software environment consists of:
- Jupyter Notebook environment
- Anaconda distribution of Python
- Pyserial (Python serial port support library)
- Demo application software written in Python
- A supported web browser
DAQCapture Windows application
DAQCapture is a standalone application distributed as a single windows executable and is simple to run. The application supports AnalogMAX-DAQ1/2/3 but not AnalogMAX-01.
Refer to the following table when choosing the demo software environment for one of the AnalogMAX-DAQ1/2/3 products:
| Feature | Jupyter Notebook | DAQCapture |
|---|---|---|
| Display | Time and frequency domain (available by default) | Time and frequency domain, DNL, INL |
| Data sample capture to file | no | yes |
| Gain configurable | yes | yes |
| Sample size configurable | yes | yes |
| Internal signal source configurable | yes | yes |
| Environment | Install supporting software. Run demo in browser. | Run standalone EXE |
| Customizable | yes | no |
