The design files for the factory design are installed from the DSP
Development Kit, Stratix II Edition Version 1.1.0 CD-ROM to the
<path>\StratixII_DSP_Kit-v1.1.0\Examples\HW\
FactoryDesign directory, where <path> is the DSP Development
Kit, Stratix II Edition installation directory.

Testing LEDs and Push-button Switches

In the factory design, switches SW4 to SW7 are connected via inverters to
LEDs D1 to D4 respectively. Whenever a switch is pushed down, the
corresponding LED lights up. Test this functionality on the board.

Performing the A/D and D/A Converter Performance Test

To test the A/D and D/A converter performance using the factory
design, perform the following steps:
1. Configure the board.
2. Collect data from the design using the SignalTap II logic analyzer.
3. Analyze the data in the MATLAB software.
These steps are described in detail in the following sections.
Configuring the Board
To configure the board, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the SLP-50 filter (low pass filter) to one end of the SMA
cable.
2. Use the cable-filter assembly to connect DAC B OUT with
ADC A IN.
3. Add the correct jumpers for the clocks.
a. For the ADC A clock, add a jumper to J3, between pins 1 and 2.
b. For the DAC B clock, add a jumper to J19, between pins 1 and 2.
Figure 2–7 shows the location J3 and J19.
