The DC1371 is controlled by the PScope System Software
which can be downloaded from the Linear Technology
®
website at
http://www.linear.com/software/
. If a DC1371
was provided, follow the DC1371 Quick Start Guide and
the instructions below.
To start the data collection software, if
PScope.exe
is in-
stalled (by default) in \Program Files\LTC\PScope\, double
click the PScope icon or bring up the run window under
the start menu and browse to the PScope directory and
select PScope.
If the DC2183 demonstration circuit is properly connected
to the DC1371, PScope should automatically detect the
DC2183, and configure itself accordingly. If necessary,
the procedure below explains how to manually configure
PScope.
Under the Configure menu, go to ADC Configuration...
Check the Config Manually box and use the following
configuration options, see Figure 2:
Manual Configuration settings:
Bits: 16
Alignment: 16
FPGA Ld: S2157
Channs: 1
Bipolar: Unchecked
Positive-Edge Clk: Unchecked
Figure 2. ADC Configuration
If everything is hooked up properly, powered and a suit-
able convert clock is present, clicking the Collect button
should result in time and frequency plots displayed in
the PScope window. Additional information and help for
PScope is available in the DC1371 quick start guide and in
the online help available within the PScope program itself.
