5.1 Starting Data Capture Session
Description
The various tools used for data capture are in the
tools
sub-directory.
Starting the capture of data involves a typical measurement session, the
card operating in variable length mode, starting and stopping the session.
Process
The following process describes starting a data capture session.
Process
Description
Typical measurement
session.
For a typical measurement session, first move to
the
dag
directory, load the driver, then load the
FPGA images to each DAG card. For example:
drv/dagload
tools/dagrom -rvp –d dag0 -f
xilinx/dag61pcix-erf.bit
tools/dagld –x –d dag0 xilinx/dag6 rx-
erf.bit
Then set, and check the integrity of the cards
physical layer. This process is described in
Chapter 4 of this document.
