Hardware Connections.
Below are listed the connection to be checked before plugging the system in the PC:
FMS connections:
- T1C0 to T2C3,
SHB connections via SMT596-H:
- SMT395-VP30 (SHBA) to SMT368 (SHBB),
- SMT395-VP30 (SHBB) to SMT368 (SHBA).
Analog connections via SMT595:
- J3 and J11 to J32 and J31.
3L Application.
The application provided configured the FPGA (SMT368) and sets up registers so
the board works as a DDS. DAC outputs are loopback onto the ADCs inputs.
Samples are then captured, processed with in FFT (1K) and sent to the host for
display.
With each DAQ module purchased, comes the SMT6600 package. Once installed
you will find in \Program Files\Sundance\SMT6600\Systems\SMT8096\3L, a 3L
application called SMT8096.app. This implies of course that 3L Diamond has been
installed beforehand.
Also in the same directory, you will find a dll (clu3L_300.dll) that you will have to copy
into the Windows\System32 directory.
Once done, you can launch SMT8096.app (double-click on the file). This will open 5
windows. The main one will report the different steps of the application. Registers are
written and read-back to check the good functioning of the system, same applies for
the CDCM7005 status bit. All should be ‘OK’.
When the frequency on the scroll bar is changed, position of the scroll bar for
frequency and amplitude are reported in the main window.
