8.7.1 FIFO

The PGA450-Q1 device has a FIFO RAM that contains the output of the digital data path. The contents of the FIFO RAM can be displayed on the GUI and/or can be plotted in Excel.

The FIFO RAM is displayed in the form of a grid. The GUI grid contents can be updated either by clicking on the READ ALL button or by clicking on the READ SELECTED button.

The FIFO RAM contents can be displayed on the GUI and plotted in Excel by clicking the Read and Save FIFO Data to File button.

NOTE

Note: Microsoft Office version 2007 or above is required for this function to work properly.
