1 Start Here: Using TICS Pro for Configuration and Readback

The first step in the debug process is to make sure the register configuration settings are correct. TICS Pro Software is a software tool that contains different GUI profiles for each of the LMK devices. Register configuration files and recommended programming sequences can be generated through the tool. The exported file formats are .tcs for the TICS Pro GUI configuration file and .txt for the HEX register list or sequence. Additionally, register readback is supported to get information about the status signals. Use TICS Pro to configure the registers properly and check the status signals of the LMK device.
