How Can I use a Host Adapter or a Protocol Analyzer to Continuously Read-Back I2C Data and Save as a CSV File?

Question from the Customer:

We are testing an I2C device. To record the points in time when values change, we are looking for a way to continuously read back a register, which we have not accomplished with a logic analyzer. Here’s what we want to do:

Continuously read-back I2C for the time period that we specify.
Retrieve those read-bac...

Using the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter, How Can I Program two Separate SPI Flash Devices with Different Parts of a Binary File?

Question from Customer

I am working on a project and we are looking into using the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter to program SPI flash devices. Our setup will have two separate flash chips, which will be selected through their chip select (CS) signals. I understand that the Cheetah adapter can be used to program these chips. My question - is this...

Support Question of the Week: Is the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter or the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter Better for High Speed Sequential SPI Accesses?

We are trying to do consecutive SPI accesses as quickly as possible and minimize the time between SS going from inactive to active again. We’re looking at the specifications of both the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter, but we could use more details and would appreciate your help on our questions below:

Support Question of the Week: How Can I Create a Custom LabVIEW Application to Test SPI Devices with the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter?

To test and evaluate SPI devices, I have been using the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and the Control Center Software. For my next project, I need to use LabVIEW and I'll need a special application. What can you tell me about the API software? Can I use the Aardvark API Software to create a LabVIEW application?

Thanks for your questions! Yo...

Support Question of the Week: Why Does My Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter Send a NACK When I’m Trying to Read From It?

I am using an Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter as an I2C slave and another device as a master. I am using 7-bit addressing. After every write command to the Aardvark I2C slave device, the master device tries to read what it has written. The Aardvark is sending a NACK after the master executes a Read command immediately after the Write command. ...
