| Values can be read back in either hex or decimal. For the latter, you must specify what format you want the number to be displayed in. The default for 1st generation SigmaDSPs (including AD1940, AD1941, ADAU1701, ADAU1702, ADAU1401) is 5.19: 5 bits for the integer, 19 for the decimal. Any changes to this format will shift the decimal value of the number displayed. | Values can be read back in either hex or decimal.

| + | ===== Configuring Continuous Readback ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The DSP Readback cell can be configured to read back from the target DSP repeatedly at regular intervals. To enable this mode, right-click the cell and select **Start Continuous Read**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can also click the small circle in the cell to enable or disable Continuous Read mode. When the circle is blue, Continuous Read mode is active. When the circle is orange, Continuous Read mode is inactive. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | When Continuous Read mode is active, you can change the update rate by right-clicking on the cell and selecting from a list of options. Selecting a slower update rate will allow you to have more readback cells operating at the same time, and will lower the chances of a buffer underrun error on the USB interface. | ||

| + | ====== Acessing Readback Values from a Microcontroller ====== | ||
| + | The following assumes you have a working microcontroller platform, with SigmaDSP interface code based on [[resources: | ||
| + | <note tip>It is always recommended to access block parameter addresses from the *PARAMS.h file exported by SigmaStudio. This ensures that as your SigmaStudio project evolves the system controller is always accessing the proper device registers.</ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Readback block has a single read-only address which holds the value from the input pin. The value is updated with each audio sample. You can read the value and decode to float: | ||
| + | <code cpp> | ||
| + | double readback_val = SIGMA_READ_REGISTER_FLOAT(MOD_READBACK1_READBACKALGNEWSIGMA3001VALUE_ADDR); | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Retain the integer representation: | ||
| + | <code cpp> | ||
| + | int32_t readback_val = SIGMA_READ_REGISTER_INTEGER(MOD_READBACK1_READBACKALGNEWSIGMA3001VALUE_ADDR, | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Or simply print the value to the serial port; great for debugging. | ||
| + | <code cpp> | ||
| + | SIGMA_PRINT_REGISTER(MOD_READBACK1_READBACKALGNEWSIGMA3001VALUE_ADDR, | ||
