Figure 18. Example of the Main Window After Running a Noise Test 

 

Reading Samples from the ADC 

The evaluation board is set up to use the external 2.5 V on-
board reference (ADR4525). To read samples from the ADC, 
1.

 

The value in the 

Vref

 box is set to 2.5 V by default to use 

the external 2.5 V on-board reference (ADR4525). If a 
different reference is used, such as the 2.5 V internal 
reference, set the value in the 

Vref

 box accordingly. (The 

analysis results are based on the value set in this box.) 

2.

 

Select the number of samples to analyze in the 

Samples

 

box. (Note that when performing a continuous capture, 
this number is limited to 65,536 samples.) 

3.

 

When 

Sampling

 is set to 

Capture

, a batch of samples is 

read when 

Start Sampling

 is clicked, with the batch size 

being set by the value in the 

Samples

 box. When 

Sampling

 

is set to 

Continuous

, the software performs a continuous 

capture from the ADC when 

Start Sampling

 is clicked.  

4.

 

Click 

Stop

 to stop streaming data. 

5.

 

Use the navigation tools within each graph to control the 
cursor, zooming, and panning. 

6.

 

If desired, save the current captured data for later analysis 
(see the 

WaveformError! Reference source not found.

 

and the 

Histogram

 section).
