Introduction
This document is intended as a step-by-step guide through the VCA5807 Evaluation Module (EVM) setup
and test. The EVM is shipped with a default configuration from the manufacturer. With this configuration,
the onboard CMOS clock is used for an analog-to-digital converter sampling clock; the onboard oscillator
is used for CW mode operation. No external clock generator is required. The input signal for measurement
from a signal generator must be provided.
A detailed explanation regarding the jumpers, connectors, and test points appears in
. The
graphical user interface (GUI) is available from the TI Web Site. Go to the software section of the product
folder (
).
Throughout this document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with
the VCA5807EVM.
