Connect the EVM as shown in Figure 5-1 after installing the software:
- Physically connect P2 of the PHI to J8 of the ADS1282EVM. Install the included screws to provide a robust connection.
- Connect the USB connector on the PHI to the computer.
- LED D5 on the PHI lights up, indicating that the PHI is powered up.
- LEDs D1 and D2 on the PHI start blinking to
indicate that the PHI is booted up and communicating with the PC; Figure 5-1 shows the resulting LED indicators.
- Start the software GUI as shown in Figure 5-2. Notice that the LEDs blink slowly when the FPGA firmware is loaded on the
PHI. This loading takes a few seconds. LED D1 on the ADS1282EVM illuminates once
a connection has been established.
- Connect the differential signal generator to the
ADS1282EVM inputs. The full-scale input range is ±2.5V differential with a
common mode from 0V to 2.5V. A typical input signal is a 4.8VPP
sinusoidal wave. This signal is adjusted just below the full-scale range to
avoid clipping.
- Verify the default jumper positions of the
ADS1282EVM. Jumper JP1 is placed in the UNIPOLAR position (pins 1-2) by default.
Jumper JP3 is placed in the ENABLE position (pins 2-3) by default.
