QUICK START FOR ADC EVALUATION
With VisualAnalog, it is easy to bypass the canvas interface and
begin ADC evaluation immediately. To begin interfacing to a
particular ADC right away, use the following steps:
1. Connect and power the evaluation board, ADC data capture
2. Connect the ADC data capture board to the computer

board, and any other required board used for data transfer.
You can also supply the required clock and input signals to
the ADC evaluation board.
with a high speed USB cable. If a driver installation dialog
appears, as happens when using the ADC data capture
board for the first time, proceed through the dialog steps.
If the Hardware Wizard appears (see Figure 2), follow the
instructions to install the software automatically. This allows
Windows to complete the driver installation process.
Start VisualAnalog. For more information, see the
VISUALANALOG Software section.
The start-up form now appears. If an ADC was connected
using the preceding steps, VisualAnalog attempts to detect
it and selects the canvas template that supports the ADC
on the start-up form. Note that the ADC must support
SPI® functionality for the program to autodetect. If the
ADC does not support SPI, or if the program does not
detect the ADC for any reason, manually select the tem-
plate. See the Using the Start-Up Form section for more
information.

A Graph form should appear with the FFT results. If the graph
does not appear, it is possible there was an error during
processing. Check the board connection and try again. If this
does not fix the problem, expand the main form and check the
canvas settings. For more information, see the Using the Main
Form and the Components Overview sections.

Select the FFT icon and click Open.
If you have an HSC-ADC-EVALC data capture board, a
dialog box that asks for permission to configure the on­
board FPGA may appear. If you prefer to use the current
FPGA configuration, click No to bypass configuration.
Otherwise, click Yes to configure the FPGA. See the Using
the Start-Up Form section for more information.
