GUI Software Installation
The AFE5818 EVM and the de-serializing capture card EVM both require software installations. Ensure
that no USB connections are made to the EVMs until after the installations are complete. Install HSDCPro
before installing HMC-DAQ GUI. This user's guide refers to software HMC-DAQ GUI v.2.8 or higher, and
HSDCPro Software v.4.1 or higher.
For information on the installation of the TSW1400EVM or TSW14J56EVM Software GUI (HSDCPro), see
the section on
HSDCPro
GUI (HMC-DAQ GUI), see the section on

Testing the AFE5818 EVM Data Capture with LVDS and JESD Interface
This section outlines (1) the external connections required to test the AFE5818 EVM using the LVDS and
JESD interfaces, (2) how to setup the GUIs for testing, (3) how to capture a RAMP test pattern, and (4)
how to capture an analog input signal. Both LVDS and JESD modes are addressed.
4.1
EVM Hardware Setup
The connections shown in
interface between the AFE5818 EVM and the TSW1400 EVM is performed using a built-in RAMP test
function generated within the AFE5818 device in lieu of the signal source listed in item 8 below.
Figure 3. TSW1400EVM and AFE5818 Hardware Setup for LVDS Capture
1. For LVDS data, mate the TSW1400 EVM at connector J3 to the AFE5818 EVM at connector P900
through the high-speed ADC interface connector. For JESD data, mate the TSW14J56 EVM at
connector J4 to the AFE5818 EVM at connector P800 through the FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC)
connector.
2. POWER:Connect the DC +5 V output of the provided AC-to-DC power supply to J12 (+5V_IN) of the
