The ADS1210 demo board along with the PC software is a
complete data acquisition system using the ADS1210 24-bit
delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter. The demo board has
two microcontrollers and 32K on board memory. It is
accessed using a PC program through the PC parallel port.
This application note explains the hardware design and the
software design of the demo board. The hardware design
discusses the system block diagram and the circuit diagram.
The software design discusses the data structure and the core
procedures for the PC programming. An example of PC
Pascal program is provided to illustrate how to access the
ADS1210 demo board. With the understanding of the demo
board design, a new PC program can be implemented to do
the data acquisition using the ADS1210 demo board.
