Manual Software Adjustment
In general, the GUI software operates similar to the individual GUIs of the DAC38RF8x EVM and the
ADC32RFxx EVM. It is possible to operate in a manual mode following the procedure of the RF DAC and
RF ADC respectively; however, there are a few minor differences.
5.7.1
RF DAC Set-Up Conditions
The DAC PLL reference frequency is derived from the LMK VCO divided down outputs. This is the only
way to provide this reference; there is no option for external PLL reference.
5.7.2
RF ADC Set-Up Conditions
•
ADC SysRef is generated through the LMK device so its VCO must be set to the desired clocking
frequency.
•
Clock divider for the FPGA is calculated based on SerDes rate of the DAC.
