Launching the DAC39RF12EVM GUI and Programing the DAC EVM - JMODE 0

Configuration example of DAC39RF12EVM in JMODE 0

  1. JMODE 0 is considered bypass mode or real data mode, interpolate x1.
    1. Configuration details:
      1. 10.24GSPS
      2. 10.3125Gbps SERDES rate
      3. 16 lanes
      4. JESD_M = 1
      5. CHA & CHB outputs are equal
  2. Simply follow the numerated steps in the subsequent figures, to launch the DAC GUI. Following the steps as shown to configure the EVM.

  1. Then launch/bring up the J59_Server.exe. As shown in the figure.
  2. Next, launch/bring up J59_Commander. Set the interpolation to 1, then open the DAC Wavegen GUI.
