RadioProcessor

II. Board Installation

Installing the RadioProcessor

To install the board you must complete the following steps:

1. Download and install the latest SpinAPI software package on your computer. SpinAPI is available at:

http://www.spincore.com/support/spinapi/

•

SpinAPI is a custom Application Programming Interface package developed by SpinCore

Technologies, Inc. SpinAPI is designed to be used only with SpinCore Technologies, Inc.

products. SpinAPI can be utilized using C/C++, or graphically (described in Appendices III and

IV).

2. Shut down the computer.

3. For the PCI: Insert the RadioProcessor card into an available PCI slot and fasten the PC bracket

securely with a screw.

4. For the USB: Plug one end of the USB cable into the RadioProcessor board and the other end into the

host computer. Next, power the board through the 5-pin DIN-type connector or 6-position Molex-style

connector. We recommend purchasing the

RadioProcessorUSB Power Supply

, which has the 6-pin

output connector and is pin-compatible with the power connector of the RadioProcessorUSB board.

For more information on powering the RadioProcessorUSB board please read Power Connectors in

Section V. Connecting to the RadioProcessor.

•

Warning:

Do not connect PEG (PCI Express Graphics) power connectors available in some

computers directly to the 6-position Molex-style power connector. Doing so will cause irreparable

damage to the board. SpinCore Technologies is not liable for any damage caused by this.

5. Turn on the computer.

Now you are ready to run the test programs that are located in the examples folder of the SpinAPI

package. We recommend running the example programs when you first receive the RadioProcessor board to

verify that your device is functional.

Testing the RadioProcessor

The simplest way to test whether the RadioProcessor has been installed properly and can be controlled as

intended is to run a simple test program. The excite_test program, which can be found in the RadioProcessor

folder in the examples of the SpinAPI, will produce a 1 MHz output on the Analog Out connector which will turn

on for 10 μs and off for 1 ms. This sequence will be repeated indefinitely. To test the board, run excite_test

and observe the Analog Output with an oscilloscope. The 1 MHz sinusoid should appear as specified by the

program.
