INSTALLING ADC ANALYZER SOFTWARE
ADC Analyzer is designed to evaluate the performance of an
Analog Devices analog-to-digital converter quickly and easily.
INSTALLATION
A copy of ADC Analyzer is included on the CD that comes with
the FIFO evaluation kit. Check the Analog Devices website for
updates to the software at
www.analog.com/hsc-FIFO.
1. Copy the AnalyzerSetup.exe file to the PC.
2. Run the setup file and follow the instructions given in the
installation wizard. Note that administrator privileges are
required to install the software on Windows 2000,
Windows ME, and Windows XP computers.
3. Run the executable file (the default location is in
c:\program files\ADC_Analyzer\ADC_Analyzer.exe).
CONFIGURATION FILE
A configuration file can be created for each high speed ADC
evaluation board used with ADC Analyzer. A configuration file
provides the software with important information about the
data sent from the ADC evaluation board to the FIFO
evaluation board, such as the number of bits, speed of the clock,
and format of the data bits (binary or twos complement).
Configuration files for some of the evaluation boards are
included with the ADC Analyzer files. Each time ADC
Analyzer is launched, a dialog box opens for you to specify a
configuration file. Click Ye s to specify a configuration file and
then choose the file corresponding to the ADC being used.
The default configuration files can be modified or a new
configuration file can be created using the instructions in the
section
Configuring an Evaluation Board.
CONFIGURING AN EVALUATION BOARD
Follow this procedure to configure the software with the ADC
evaluation board:
1. From the ADC Analyzer main menu, select Config >
Channel Select. The Channel Select dialog box opens, as
shown in
Figure 4.
2. Complete the following, and then click OK.
• On a single-channel ADC, the default configuration is
correct.
• On a dual-channel ADC, it is necessary to check both
ChannelA and ChannelB.
• On a demultiplexed ADC, it is necessary to check
both ChannelA, ChannelB, and Interleaved Data.
Note that Channel A in the software corresponds to
Channel B on the HSC-ADC-EVALA/HSC-ADC-EVALB
schematics and the bottom FIFO (U201) on the evaluation
board. Channel B corresponds to Channel A on the HSC-
ADC-EVALA/B schematics and the top FIFO (U101) on
the evaluation board (closest to the Analog Devices logo).
For more information about the channel selection process,
see the
Troubleshooting section.

3. From the ADC Analyzer main menu, select Config > DUT.
The DUT Configuration dialog box opens (see
Figure 5).

4. Complete the following and then click OK.
• Type the name of the ADC being evaluated in the
Device field.
• Type the number of bits (resolution of the ADC) in
the Number of Bits field. (Note: This information is
used for display purposes only.)
• To specify a different directory for the configuration file,
type a new location in the Default Data Directory.
5. From the ADC Analyzer main menu, select Config > FFT.
The FFT Configuration dialog box appears (see
Figure 6).
