4. Note that other settings can be changed on the ADCBase 0
page (see Figure 12) and the ADC A and ADC B pages
(see Figure 13) to set up the part in the desired mode. The
ADCBase 0 page settings affect the entire part, whereas the
settings on the ADC A and ADC B pages affect the selected
channel only. See the appropriate part data sheet; the
Application Note, High Speed ADC SPI Control Software; and
the AN-877 Application Note, Interfacing to High Speed ADCs
via SPI, for additional information on the available settings.

Adjusting the Amplitude of the Input Signal
The next step is to adjust the amplitude of the input signal for
each channel as follows:
1. Adjust the amplitude of the input signal so that the
fundamental is at the desired level. Examine the Fund Power

reading in the left panel of the VisualAnalog Graph - AD9268
Average FFT window (see Figure 15).
2. Repeat this procedure for Channel B.
3. Click the disk icon within the Graph window to save the
performance plot data as a .csv formatted file. See Figure 16
for an example.
