3.11 Launch the HSDCpro Software and Load the FPGA Image to the TSW14J59EVM

  1. Launch the HSDCpro 5.303 or later software.
  2. Click OK to confirm the serial number of the TSW14J59EVM device. If multiple TSWxxxxx boards are connected, select the model and serial number for the one connected to the DAC39RF10EVM.
  3. For Device select DAC from drop down menu.
    Note: If the pop up says No Firmware. Please select a device to load firmware into the board click OK proceed to next step.

  4. Select the DAC39RF1x_JMODE0 device from the DAC select drop-down in the top left corner.
  5. When prompted, click Yes to update the firmware(wait for Firmware to download).
    Note: If the user configures the EVM with options other than the default register values, different instructions may be required for selecting the device in HSDC Pro. See Section 7 for more details.

  6. Enter the Data Rate as "10.24G" or the desired input data rate. The Data rate value can be referenced from the DAC39RF10EVM GUI. It is displayed on output parameter as shown in Configuration of DAC39RF10EVM GUI.
  7. For DAC Option dropdown select the "Offset Bin" option.( The DAC39RF10EVM gui always defaults to offset binary).
  8. Navigate to lower left side of the HSDCpro GUI to I/Q Multitone Generator section. For # of tones enter 1, for Tone Center enter 1G( 1 GHz or desired frequency), # Samples can be left 65536.
  9. Tone selection should be "Real", since this is JMODE0 , the DUC/ NCO is bypassed. If other JMODE was configured, such that DUC/NCO was used the Tone selection should be "Complex".
  10. Click Create Tones button and then click Send in upper left side of HSDCpro GUI. If a pop appear mentioning the SERDES RATE click OK. The DAC should be sending the programmed frequency to the outputs.
