22. Add the START CHANNELS control, insert it into the Timed Loop and wire it to a new shift
register. Set true the START CHANNELS control to start the waveforms generation.
23. Add two case structures and wire them as in the picture above. The case on the left controls
the data values (8192) that have to be send to the serializers when the module is stopped.
The second case checks if the last address of the Memory1 (2047) has been reached. If true,
it puts the memory address to the initial value (0).
24. Save the VI.
Running the Host VI
1. Connect one end of an SMA cable to AO 0+ on the front panel of the AT 1212 and the other
end to the oscilloscope (50
Ω input).
2. Connect one end of an SMA cable to AO 1+ on the front panel of the AT 1212 and the other
end to the oscilloscope (50
Ω input).
3. Tap the unused inputs (AO 0- / A1 -) with a 50 Ω load.
4. Open the front panel of CustomFPGAExample1212(Host).vi .
5. Click the Run button to run the VI.
6. Wait for module initialization.
7. Click the START CHANNELS button to start the waveform generation.
8. The AT-1212 generates two 2048 points sine waveforms.
