9.1.7 Collecting Data
Once you have configured the ADS1256 for your test scenario, pressing the ADCPro Acquire button
starts the collection of the number of datapoints specified in the Test plug-in Block Size control. The
ADS1256EVM-PDK plug-in disables all the front panel controls while acquiring, and displays a progress
bar as shown in Figure 36.

ins, refer to the ADCPro User Guide.
9.2 Troubleshooting
If ADCPro stops responding while the ADS1256EVM-PDK is connected, try unplugging the power supply
from the PDK. Unload and reload the plug-in before reapplying power to the PDK.
