5. Accept or change the installation directory (using the Browse button), then press Install to start the
installation.
ADQAPI
The ADQAPI is the application programming interface (API) used by the host computer to communicate
with the digitizer. The API functions are detailed in the ADQAPI reference guide [ 1 ] and general usage is
documented in the ADQAPI user guide [ 2 ]. There are two different interfaces available: a C interface and
a C++ interface. Most programming languages, e.g. Python, have a foreign function interface granting
the ability to call functions from C dynamic link libraries directly, making this the more general interface
of the two.
For Matlab, .NET, and Labview, the installer provides tailored interfaces for acessing the API. How-
ever, please note that only a subset of the full functionality is available via these interfaces.
Digitizer Studio
Digitizer Studio is an easy-to-use stand-alone program which allows for configuration and operation
of ADQ digitizers from Teledyne SP Devices. The application is able to collect and plot data, and to
calculate key performance metrics such as SNR and SFDR. Collected data can be stored on disk for
later use, e.g. to compare measurements. The application exists for diagnostic purposes and to simplify
the process of getting started with the digitizer. Digitizer Studio is also a stand-alone measurement
instrument application.
Please note that to reach the full potential of the digitizer in a real-time application, the SDK is recom-
mended since only a subset of the digitizer’s full functionality is controllable from Digitizer Studio. Refer
to the datasheet of Digitizer Studio [ 3 ] for supported hardware, firmware and operating systems. For
more information, see the Digitizer Studio user guide [ 4 ].
