EVALUATING THE AD4080 WITH THE ACE SOFTWARE

After the hardware setup is complete as per the
ware Setup Procedure section, and the software is installed as
specified in the Evaluation Software Installation
software can be run for evaluation.
When ACE opens, the EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ is automatically de-
tected and displayed in the Attached Hardware panel, as highlight-
ed in yellow in Figure 9.

Double-click on the EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ icon and a new tab,
EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ, opens that displays a block diagram of the
EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ as shown in
Figure 10. EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ Tab Open in the ACE Software
This offers a Board Level view of EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ. The sam-
pling frequency can be configured within this window because it
can control the required configuration of the supporting clocking
components, ADF4350 and AD9508, as well as controlling the syn-
chronization of the EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ data with the ZedBoard.
As a default, the Sampling Frequency (MHz) field is configured
for 40 MHz. Any desired update to the sampling frequency, in the
range of 1.25 MHz to 40 MHz, can be made to this field. When
a new value is entered in this field, the supporting clock compo-
nents are updated, and the ZedBoard interface is automatically
resynchronized.
Double clicking on the AD4080 from the block diagram now opens
an AD4080 tab. This tab displays an INITIAL CONFIGURATION
pane, a block diagram of the AD4080 chip, and two buttons in
the lower-right corner (Proceed to Memory Map and Proceed to
Analysis), which are highlighted in yellow in
analog.com

The tabs that are accessed through these two buttons provide the
means to evaluate the AD4080 chip. See the

ANALYSIS Tab

AD4080 MEMORY MAP

Click Proceed to Memory Map within the AD4080 tab to open the
AD4080 Memory Map tab, shown in
Figure 12. AD4080 Memory Map Tab in the ACE Software
This tab displays the registers from the AD4080 and can be used
to read and write (if applicable) their content. For normal operation
of the evaluation kit, no modifications are required to the ADC
registers.
ANALYSIS TAB
Click Proceed to Analysis within the AD4080 tab to open the
ANALYSIS tab. This tab is used for capturing data through the
evaluation board and analyzing the obtained data.
