RXADC and FBADC Evaluation

  1. Connect the signal generator to J3 (RXA), J1 (RXB), J4 (RXC), or J2 (RXD) to supply the RXADC input at the defined NCO + 15MHz. Connect the signal generator to J5 (FBAB) or J6 (FBCD) to supply the FBADC input at the defined NCO + 15MHz.
  2. Highlight portion of applicable code below and select F7 to run. In Latte Window 6, select CGui_CGui_Custom_Gui to view the capture.
  3. In the capture window, select the Finite Samples capture type. View the capture in the Complex tab.
