ADS5292EVM, TSW1400EVM and LabVIEW

Hi,

The ADS5292 is supported by the Medical group, not High Speed Data Converter.  I will move this post to that forum.  The TSW1400 will allow you to capture data from your EVM, and there is a drop-down menu item that allows you to save the captured data to a .csv file.   The User Guide for the TSW1400 is online, http://www.ti.com/tool/TSW1400EVM?keyMatch=tsw1400&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything and you can see the functions supported by the TSW1400 there.   The GUI for the TSW1400 is called HSDCPro and the installer for this GUI is also on the TI Web.  The User Guide does not cover automating the HSDCPro, but once the GUI is installed there is a manual (attached) for controlling HSDCPro with either C code or Matlab code.  I don't see Labview code control, but the medical group might be able to address that too.  HSDCPro Automation DLL Manual.doc

Hi Richard,

Thank you very much for your reply. This clears out my mind.

Have a good day

Hello Richard,

Just to clarify, there is not an alternative way of acquiring data if I only have the ADS5292EVM board right? Sorry to ask it again but I need to be sure because I do not want to purchase something unnecessary.

Thank you,
Gillianne

Hi,

I am not in the Medical group that supports that EVM, so I cannot say what else would support that EVM.   But before we had such things as the TSW1400 capture card available, these EVMs had to be evaluated by capturing the data off the board with a logic analyzer and then writing the code to analyze the data, so there is always that option but it is far less convenient than using the capture card.   Another option is to get an adapter card we make available to connect the EVM to an Altera development platform http://www.ti.com/tool/HSMC-ADC-BRIDGE?keyMatch=hsmc-adc-bridge&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything and then writing your own code for the Altera or http://www.ti.com/tool/FMC-ADC-ADAPTER?keyMatch=fmc-adc-adapter&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything and then writing your own code for the Xilinx.   If you already own one of these FPGA development platforms and your ultimate product is to be developed for one of these FPGAs then this would be a good option.    But if you just want to evaluate the performance of the ADS5292 for your product then the TSW1400 was made for that purpose - to let the user evaluate the suitableness of a TI data converter for their new design.
