5. When prompted to update the firmware for the ADC, click
Yes
and wait for the firmware to download to
the TSW14J56. The following message appears while the firmware is downloading to the FPGA.
(Downloading firmware does not mean the GUI is looking for newer revisions at ti.com. It simply means
the bitfile for the firmware for the FPGA is being pushed to the FPGA through the USB cable.)

6. After the firmware download has completed, enter “368.64M” into the
ADC Output Data Rate
field at
the bottom left corner of the HSDC Pro GUI (2.94912 GHz sample rate divided by 8). A common
mistake is to type 'm' instead of 'M' in which case the frequency entered is in milli-Hz instead of mega-
Hz. Another common mistake is to omit the 'M' in which case the frequency entered is in Hz.
