2.0 Quick Start

This section will aid in bringing up the board for the first time as well as a brief tutorial on the

WaveVision 5 (WV5) software. Further description of the Reference Board is in subsequent

sections of this document. The software is further described in the WaveVision 5 Users' Guide

or the HELP function within the software. The ADC12D1X00RF and LMX2531 datasheets

should be consulted for detailed understanding of device functionality.

The user is advised to construct a lab setup as close to the one shown in Figure 3 as possible.

This setup, along with the board and software configuration described below, is what was used

to test the reference board at National's lab. This set of conditions produces the stated

reference performance - which is normally included with each board shipped to customers. The

objective is to assure that the user can achieve the same performance as that recorded at

National's lab prior to board shipment.

Figure 3: Recommended lab setup. A filter may not be necessary on the clock if the

generator is very clean (beyond -80dBm SFDR).
