2.5 Memory
The WaveVision4 Data Capture Board comes with at least 128k x 36, or 4 Mbit, of 200 MHz SRAM.
Some versions may have SRAM of different speed or capacity – the amount present on your board can
be queried in the WaveVision4 software through the Capture Board Settings menu.
2.6 Computer Interface
The WaveVision4 Data Capture Board communicates with a PC via standard USB 1.1 for ver 4 and USB
2.0 for ver 4.1 at full speed.
2.7 Power Requirements
The WaveVision4 Data Capture Board requires only a single +5V power supply. However, many ADC
and DAC evaluation boards require additional power supplies. The WaveVision4 Data Capture Board
consumes approximately 200 mA of current (1 W of power) when fully configured, with no part evaluation
board attached. ADC and DAC evaluation boards differ widely in their power consumption – please
consult the manual that came with your evaluation board, and ensure that your power supply is capable
of adequately supplying the load.
