The amplifiers and reference can be configured with jumpers. The amplifier jumpers (JP1-JP8) determine if the amplifier is used or if an external signal is directly connected to the ADC input. JP9 is used to select either the internal reference option or external reference option. Take care to make sure that the GUI configuration for the device reference matches the setting of JP9. The GUI software starts up in the "internal" reference mode, so make sure the JP9 is in the "INT" position.
Jumper | Setting | Default | Function |
---|---|---|---|
JP1 to JP8 | wAmp / Bypass | wAmp | These eight jumpers determine if the amplifier is used to buffer the inputs signals or if it is bypassed. Choosing wAmp will connect the amplifier between each SMA connector (J1 to J8) and the ADC input. The default amplifier configuration is inverting (Gain = -1V/V). The amplifier gain configuration can be adjusted by soldering and de-soldering different resistors. Choosing the Bypass configuration will connect the SMA connectors directly to the ADC input. |
JP9 | EXT / INT | INT | This jumper will select internal vs external mode on the voltage reference. Using internal mode will disconnect the external reference. Using external mode will connect the external REF6025 2.5 V reference to the ADC reference input. Take care to make sure that the GUI settings for the voltage reference match this jumpers setting. |
