This demo provides an example on how to use the communication interface provided in the modules firmware,
to setup the pre-amplification and trigger an ADC measurement.
The module saves after a trigger event 1 million samples of ADC measurement in its SDRAM.
Those values are gathered in parts of 16 kbytes and converted from RAW ADC data to standard integers and
floating point numbers.

...

The user can easily access the pre-amplification and the length of the processed and plotted part of the data
through a GUI.

Communicating with module:

To communicate with the module, a serial comport port with a speed set to 115200 bits needs to be opened.
Commands consists of a single character in UTF-8 encoding.
It is good practice to communication with the module following these steps:

...

These steps apply also for read operations.

Using the ADC for high speed consecutive measurements

The module provides a method to gather highly accurate consecutive ADC measurements in a single event.
In this mode of operation, one mega sample of ADC values are performed and stored inside the modules
SD-RAM.
