Digital Outputs
The data outputs, data clock, and frame clock signals are
available on J1 of the DC1763A. This connector follows the
VITA-57/FMC standard, but all signals should be verified
when using an FMC carrier card other than the DC1371.
Software
The DC1371 is controlled by the PScope™ System Soft-
ware provided or downloaded from the Linear Technology
website at http://www.linear.com/software/.
To start the data collection software if PScope.exe, is in-
stalled (by default) in \Program Files\LTC\PScope\, double
click the PScope icon or bring up the run window under
the start menu and browse to the PScope directory and
select PScope.
If the DC1763A demonstration circuit is properly connected
to the DC1371, PScope should automatically detect the
DC1763A, and configure itself accordingly. If everything is
hooked up properly, powered and a suitable convert clock
is present, clicking the Collect button should result in time
and frequency plots displayed in the PScope window. Ad-
ditional information and help for PScope is available in the
DC1371 Quick Start Guide and in the online help available
within the PScope program itself.
Serial Programming
PScope has the ability to program the DC1763A board
serially through the DC1371. There are several options
available in the LTC2195 family that are only available
through serially programming. PScope allows all of these
features to be tested.
These options are available by first clicking on the Set
Demo Bd Options icon on the PScope toolbar (Figure 2).
This will bring up the menu shown in Figure 3.
