9.  Open and setup a graph to plot a 50-point window of the ADC results buffer.       
Click: Tools  Graph  Single Time and set the following values: 
Acquisition Buffer Size  50 
DSP Data Type  16-bit unsigned integer 
Sampling Rate (Hz)  50000 
Start Address  AdcBuf 
Display Data Size  50 
Time Display Unit 
µs 
Select OK to save the graph options. 
10. The graphical display should show the generated 2 kHz, 25% duty cycle symmetric 
PWM waveform. The period of a 2 kHz signal is 500 µs.  You can confirm this by 
measuring the period of the waveform using the “measurement marker mode” graph 
feature.  Disable continuous refresh for the graph before taking the measurements.  In the 
graph window toolbar, left-click on the ruler icon with the red arrow.  Note when you 
hover your mouse over the icon, it will show “Toggle Measurement Marker 
Mode”.  Move the mouse to the first measurement position and left-click.  Again, left-
click on the Toggle Measurement Marker Mode icon.  Move the mouse to the 
second measurement position and left-click.  The graph will automatically calculate the 
difference between the two values taken over a complete waveform period.  When done, 
clear the measurement points by right-clicking on the graph and select Remove All 
Measurement Marks.  Then enable continuous refresh for the graph. 
Frequency Domain Graphing Feature of Code Composer Studio 
11. Code Composer Studio also has the ability to make frequency domain plots.  It does this 
by using the PC to perform a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the DSP data.  Let's make 
a frequency domain plot of the contents in the ADC results buffer (i.e. the PWM 
waveform). 
Click: Tools  Graph  FFT Magnitude and set the following values:
