Hi Wayne,
Thanks for evaluating our EVM! There are no particular software steps to initialize the LDC1000. For a specific application, you would set Rp min, Rp max, Sensor Frequency, and configuration register values before enabling conversion by setting the power mode to active.
Note that if you would like to change any conversion-related register setting after conversion has started you must first disable conversion by setting the power mode to idle.
We will be posting some sample code with an app note for interfacing MSP430 LaunchPads (F5529, G2xxx) soon. There will be a forum announcement; to receive updates please subscribe.
Thanks,
Charles Cheung
