CAPTURE
The
CAPTURE
pane contains the capture settings. These settings
reflect onto the registers automatically before data capture.
The
Throughput(ksps)
field in the
Capture Settings
section al-
lows the user to set the throughput rate of the µModule. The default
maximum throughput rate is 1754 kSPS. The 2 MSPS throughput
rate can only be set when the µModule is in
Turbo Mode
with a
minimum SCK rate of 75 MHz. Refer to the
data sheet
and
data sheet to determine the required SCK clock
frequency for the selected 3-wire or 4-wire mode.
The
No. of samples
pulldown menu in the
Capture Settings
sec-
tion allows the user to select the number of samples per capture.
Select the
Turbo Mode
check box in the
Register Control
section
to enable a 2 MSPS throughput rate for the µModule.
Select the
Span Compression
check box in the
Register Control
section to reduce the input range by 10% from the top and bottom
of the range while still accessing the available µModule codes.
Select the
Enable Status Bits
check box in the
Register Control
section to read the status registers after every after conversion.
Select the
Use Custom Reference
check box in the
Reference
section if the 5.0 V on-board reference is not used. Set the corre-
sponding reference value in the
Reference Voltage
field.
When enabled, the
Oversampling Ratio
pulldown menu in the
Software Oversampling
section can be set between 2 and 256
and provide improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance.
Refer to the ADAQ4001 data sheet and ADAQ4003 data sheet
to determine the maximum oversampling ratio for the selected
oversampling mode.
Click
Run Once
to start a data capture of the samples at the
sample rate specified in the
No. of samples
pulldown menu. These
samples are stored on the FPGA device and are only transferred to
the PC when the sample frame is complete.
Click
Run Continuously
to start a data capture that gathers sam-
ples continuously with one batch of data at a time. This operation
runs the
Run Once
operation continuously.
ANALYSIS SETTINGS
The
General Settings
section allows the user to set up the prefer-
red 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
Window
type
used in the FFT analysis, set the
Number of Harmonics
, and set
the number of
Fundamental Bins
that must be included.
The
Single Tone Analysis
section allows the user to select the
fundamental frequency included in the FFT analysis.
The
INL Settings
section allows the user to set the
Averaging
Iterations
and
Truncation
settings during the INL measurement.
The
DNL Settings
section allows the user to set the
Averaging
Iterations
and
Truncation
settings during the DNL measurement.
RESULTS
Click
Export
to export the captured data. The waveform, histogram,
and FFT data is stored in .xml files along with the values of the
parameters at capture.
