2.2.11 Launch the HSDCpro Software and Load the FPGA Image to the TSW14J59EVM
Launch the HSDCpro 5.303 or later software.
Click OK to confirm the serial number of the TSW14J59EVM device. If multiple TSWxxxxx boards are connected, then select the model and serial number for the one connected to the TRF1108-DAC39RFEVM.
For the Device, select DAC from the drop-down menu.
Note: If the pop-up window says No Firmware, then select a device to load firmware into the board and click OK to proceed to the next step.
Figure 2-8 Launching HSDCpro and Setup
Select the DAC39RF1x_JMODE0 device from the DAC select drop-down in the top left corner.
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, then different
instructions can be required for selecting the device in HSDC Pro. For more
details, see Section 2.5.
Figure 2-9 HSDCpro Setup
Enter the data rate as 10.24G or the desired input data rate. The data rate value can be referenced from the DAC39RF10EVM GUI and is displayed on output parameter as shown in Figure 2-3.
For DAC Option drop-down, select the Offset Bin option. The DAC39RF10EVM GUI always defaults to offset binary.
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 (1GHz or desired frequency); # of samples can be left 65536.
Tone selection needs to be Real, since this is JMODE0; the DUC/ NCO is bypassed. If another JMODE was configured, such that DUC/NCO was used, then the Tone selection needs to be Complex.
Click Create Tones button and then click Send in upper left side of HSDCpro GUI. If a pop-up window appears mentioning the SERDES RATE, then click OK. The DAC sends the programmed frequency to the outputs.
