3.5.2.2 Drop-down Selectors

At the top left of the plot are two drop-down selectors.

The operation select drop-down menu allows the device operating mode to be switched between the power down and continuous capture modes. The oneshot mode of the device is not exposed by the EVM GUI.

The mode select drop down changes the device gain range setting mode. The device supports automatic gain control (ACG), which is the recommended mode setting for most use cases, or the gain range of the device can be selected manually using this drop-down menu.

The device supports two conversion times: 100 ms and 800 ms, which can be selected using the respective drop-down menu.

The display sample count selects how many samples are displayed on the x-axis of the plot.
