3.6.1 Acquisition software: input files
The first step consists in delivering the files to be processed. Browse in field “Select
ADC1 file:” and/or in field “Select ADC2 file:” to indicate the files to be used.
Note: For CMOS acquisition, select either one or 2 files, while in LVDS select 2 files
since data are located on the 2 ports.
Indicate the data format (by default data are stored in binary format).
Note: both files needs to have the same data format and have the same input and clock
frequency.
Indicate whether it is CMOS or LVDS DDR bit-wise or LVDS DDR byte-wise mode.
3.6.2 Acquisition software: frequency indication
The second step consists in indicating the relevant numbers for the FFT processing:
•
the resolution N: 14 in this case;
•
the input frequency Fin: 170 MHz in our example;
•
the sampling frequency Fs: 125 Msps in our example;
•
whether Fin or Fs are coherent or not:
−
if signals are coherent, selected which Fin or Fs are fixed for the calculation (see
appendix A.1
). The value of coherent frequency resulting from this calculation will
be displayed (this corresponds to the value to be generated in front of the ADC);
−
if signals are not coherent, select the window for FFT processing to apply (the
Blackman window gives better results).
The example shown below is for Fin = 170 MHz Fs = 125 Msps, with Fin and Fs coherent
and Fin fixed value in LVDS DDR bit-wise mode:
