Connect the EVM as shown in Figure 4-1 after installing the software:
- Physically connect connector P2 of the PHI to
connector J11 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.
- LED D1 and LED D2 on the PHI start blinking to indicate that the PHI is booted up and communicating with the PC; Figure 4-1 shows the resulting LED indicators.
- Start the software GUI as shown in Figure 4-2. Notice that the LEDs
blink slowly when the FPGA firmware is loaded on the PHI. This loading takes a few
seconds. LED D3 on the ADS1282EVM illuminates once a connection has been established.
- Verify the default shunt positions of the ADS1282 EVM. Shunt JP3 is placed in the +3.3V position, shunt JP4 is placed in the UNIPOLAR position, shunt JP5 is placed in the +5.5V position, and shunt JP6 is placed in the OSCILLATOR ENABLE position.
- Connect the differential signal generator to the ADS1282EVM inputs. The
differential full-scale input range is ±2.5V and the recommended common mode voltage is
2.5V. A typical input signal is a 4.8VPP sinusoidal wave centered at 2.5V.
Adjust the input signal just below the 5VPP full-scale range to avoid
clipping.
