Troubleshooting Tips

General Problems

Verify the test setup shown in

Figure 2

and repeat the setup procedure as described in this

document.

Check power supplies to the EVMs. Verify that the power switches are in the ON position.

Check signal and clock connections to the EVM.

Check that all boards are properly connected together.

Try pressing the

CPU_RESET

button on the TSW14J56EVM.

Try power-cycling the external power supply to the EVM and reprogram the LMK and ADC
devices.

TSW14J56 LEDs are not correct:
D1, D5 – N/A
D2, D4 – Blinking
D3, D6, D7 – OFF
D8, D28 – ON

Verify the settings of the configuration switches on the TSW14J56EVM.

Verify that the EVM configuration GUI is communicating with the USB and that the
configuration procedure has been followed.

(LEDs Not Blinking) Reprogram the LMK device.

Try pressing the

CPU_RESET

button on the TSW14J56EVM.

Try capturing data in HSDC Pro to force an LED status update.

Device GUI is not working properly

Verify that the USB cable is plugged into the EVM and the PC.

Check the computer’s Device Manager and verify that a

USB Serial Device

is recognized

when the EVM is connected to the PC.

Verify that the green

USB Status

LED light in the top right corner of the GUI is lit. If it is not

lit, press

Reconnect FTDI

button.

Try restarting the configuration GUI.

Check default jumper connections as shown in

Appendix A

.

HSDC Pro Software is not
capturing good data or analysis
results are incorrect.

Verify that the TSW14J56EVM is properly connected to the PC with an USB cable and that
the board serial number is properly identified by the HSDC Pro software.

Check that the proper ADC device is selected. In default conditions, ADS54J69_2x_4222
should be selected.

Check that the analysis parameters are properly configured.

Check that the fundamental power is no larger than –1 dBFs.

HSDC Pro Software gives a Time-
Out error when capturing data

Try to reprogram the LMK device and reset the JESD204 link.

Verify that the ADC sampling rate is correct in the HSDC Pro software.

Sub-Optimal Measured
Performance

Make sure an ADC hardware reset was issued after loading the LMK but before loading the
ADC configuration file.

Check that the spectral analysis parameters are properly configured.

Verify that bandpass filters are used in the clock (external ADC Clock Mode) and input
signal paths and that low-noise signal sources are used.
