With a clock signal source of 250 MHz, the SPI DATACLK
divide ratio is set to 2 (f
= 125 MHz) and the DATACLK
DAC
divide ratio is set to 1 (f
= 250 MHz). These settings, which
DATA
are due to the interleaved data input format, allow the data to be
properly allocated to each DAC.
Set these settings in the SPI software front panel and then select
Run. The readback for the SPI software is shown along the
right-hand side of the window and can be checked for accuracy
