RESULTS Pane
The
Display Channels
section allows the user to select the
channels to capture (see Figure 16). The channel data is shown
only if that channel is selected before the capture.
The
Waveform Results (Codes)
and
Waveform Results (Volts)
sections display the amplitude, sample frequency, and noise
analysis data for the selected channels (see Figure 16).
Click
Export
to export the captured data (see Figure 16). The
waveform, histogram, and FFT data is stored in .xml files along
with the values of parameters at capture.
The data
Waveform
graph shows each successive sample of the
ADC output (see Figure 16). The user can zoom in and out and
pan over the
Waveform
graph using the embedded waveform
tools above the graph. Select the channels to display in the
Display Channels
section.
Under the
Display Units
pulldown menu, select
Codes
above
the
Waveform
graph (see Figure 16) to select whether the
Waveform
graph displays in units of
Codes
,
Hex
, or
Volts
. The
axis controls are dynamic.
When selecting either
y-scale dynamic
or
x-scale dynamic
, the
corresponding axis width automatically adjusts to show the
entire range of the ADC results after each batch of samples.
Select the dynamic using the
XYDirection
tool (see Figure 16).
HISTOGRAM TAB
The
Histogram
tab contains the
Histogram
graph and the
RESULTS
pane, as shown in Figure 17.
The
RESULTS
pane displays the information related to the dc
performance.
The
Histogram
graph displays the number of hits per code within
the sampled data (see Figure 17). The
Histogram
graph is useful
for dc analysis and indicates the noise performance of the
FFT TAB
The
FFT
tab displays the fast Fourier transform (FFT) information
for the last batch of samples gathered (see Figure 18).
ANALYSIS Pane
The
General Settings
section allows the user to set up the
preferred configuration of the FFT analysis, including how
many tones are analyzed. The fundamental is set manually.
The
Windowing
section allows the user to select the
windowing type used in the FFT analysis, the number of
Harmonic Bins
, and the number of
Fundamental Bins
that
must be included.
The
Single Tone Analysis
and
Two Tone Analysis
sections
allow the user to select the fundamental frequency included in
the FFT analysis. Use the
Two Tone Analysis
settings when
analyzing two frequencies.
RESULTS Pane
The
Signal
section displays the
Fund Frequency
and
Fund
Power
The
Noise
section displays the
SNR
and other noise
performance results (see Figure 18).
The
Distortion
section displays the harmonic content of the
sampled signal and dc power when viewing the FFT analysis
(see Figure 18).
AUTOMATED TEST OPERATION
To perform the automated test for the AD7606C-18 or the
AD7606C-16, see the
page on
the Analog Devices, Inc., website and follow the instructions to
operate the hardware and software, set up the
Python/MATLAB environment, and begin communication
between the
software and the Python/MATLAB script.
EXITING THE SOFTWARE
To exit the software, click
