DEMO MANUAL DC2071A
DC890 QUICK START PROCEDURE
Check to make sure that all switches and jumpers are
set as shown in the connection diagram of Figure 1. The
default connections configure the ADC to use the onboard
reference and regulators to generate the required common
mode voltages. The analog input is DC coupled. Connect
the DC2071A to a DC890 USB High Speed Data Collec-
tion Board using connector P1. Then, connect the DC890
to a host PC with a standard USB A/B cable. Apply ±16V
to the indicated terminals. Then apply a low jitter signal
source to J2–J7. Observe the recommended input voltage
range for each analog input. Connect a low jitter 2.5V
PP
sine wave or square wave to connector J1. See Table 1
for the appropriate clock frequency. Note that J1 has a
50Ω termination resistor to ground.
Run the PScope™ software (Pscope.exe version K88 or
later) which can be downloaded from
Complete software documentation is available from the
Help menu. Updates can be downloaded from the Tools
menu. Check for updates periodically as new features
may be added.
The PScope software should recognize the DC2071A and
configure itself automatically.
Click the Collect button (See Figure 7) to begin acquiring
data. The Collect button then changes to Pause, which
can be clicked to stop data acquisition.
DC590 QUICK START PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT! To avoid damage to the DC2071A,
make sure that VCCIO (JP6) of the DC590 is set to
3.3V before connecting the DC590 to the DC2071A.
To use the DC590 with the DC2071A, it is necessary to
apply ±16V and ground to the ±16V and GND terminals
on the DC2071A. Connect the DC590 to a host PC with a
standard USB A/B cable. Connect the DC2071A to a DC590
USB serial controller using the supplied 14-conductor
ribbon cable. Apply a signal source to J2-J7. No clock
is required on J1 when using the DC590. The clock is
provided by the DC590.
Run the QuikEval™ software (quikeval.exe version K109
or later) which is available from
. The correct control panel will be loaded
automatically. Click the Collect button (Figure 10) to begin
reading the ADC.
