4.3 Test Setup

The overall setup for testing is shown in Figure 4-2. The reference design is combined with the TIDA-010249 to provide an analog front end and ADCs. This is connected through the PHI header. The software is loaded onto an SD card and started in TIDA-010261.

The setup is powered through a media converter, not only providing power, but also converting single-pair Ethernet to standard Ethernet. This is connected to a standard PC, providing a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server as well as an Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) broker.

A function generator is used to have a signal on the ADC. This setup captures the signal from the generator, stores the raw samples, calculates an FFT and transfers all the data formatted as JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) strings to an MQTT broker. Here, other devices in the network can subscribe and do further processing or visualization.
