ADC3669EVM: High Speed Data Converter Pro - Max Hold

Part Number: ADC3669EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TSWDC155EVM, ADC3669

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am using eval board ADC3669EVM and capture board TSWDC155EVM. They require software "MSPS_FPGA_Server", "ADC3669EVM", and "High Speed Data Converter Pro".

For the "High Speed Data Converter Pro" we have an incoming signal that is getting RF pulsed (not a single tone) with a span of 120MHz on the spec an. Typically we would run a "max hold" on the spec an since the spectrum occurs very quickly. 

1) Is there a way to do a "max hold" on the "High Speed Data Converter Pro" so I can see the entire spectrum? Else I will need to continuously capture to get lucky.

2) I see there is a "capture option" in the "High Speed Data Converter Pro", are the check boxes "continuous capture" and "average FFT" still usable with the ADC3669EVM setup?

  • Hello,

    Unfortunately no, these HSDC Pro features are not supported with the ADC3669EVM setup. We are no longer developing HSDC Pro and are in the process of moving over to a new capture software, which will hopefully be out within the next year. In the meantime, for newer devices like the ADC3669, we are using a quick fix solution that does not support all of the features of HSDC Pro.

    Best,

    Luke Allen
