 ===EVALUATION BOARD SETUP PROCEDURE=== ===EVALUATION BOARD SETUP PROCEDURE===
 To configure the EV1HMC8362LP6G or EV1HMC8364LP6G for the first time, perform the following steps.  To configure the EV1HMC8362LP6G or EV1HMC8364LP6G for the first time, perform the following steps. 
-1. Verify that the analog power supply that is used to power the evaluation board configured to allow an output of 6.0 V and 200 mA of compliance current.  +  - Verify that the analog power supply that is used to power the evaluation board configured to allow an output of 6.0 V and 200 mA of compliance current.  
-2. Disable the power supply output.  +  Disable the power supply output.  
-3. Using a double shielded BNC cable and a BNC to SMA adapter, connect the analog power supply to J1.  +  Using a double shielded BNC cable and a BNC to SMA adapter, connect the analog power supply to J1.  
-4. Use the supplied shorting jumpers to configure the logic, as shown in Figure 2. In the configuration shown in Figure 2, the ADG1604 multiplexer, VCO 1 of the HMC8362 or HMC8364,, and the output buffer amplifier are all enabled. When a jumper is disconnected the corresponding signal is pulled up to VCC. To reset a pin, connect the shorting jumper from the pin to the adjacent ground (GND). Figure 2 is annotated in green to indicate where a jumper is connected, and hence shorted to ground. +  Use the supplied shorting jumpers to configure the logic, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 is annotated in green to indicate where a jumper is connected, and is therefore shorted to ground. 
-5. Connect the low noise, variable power supply to the SMA connector on the tuning port (J2) using a double shielded BNC cable and a BNC to SMA adapter. Torque this connection to 8 in/lb using an SMA torque wrench.   +  Connect the low noise, variable power supply to the SMA connector on the tuning port (J2) using a double shielded BNC cable and a BNC to SMA adapter. Torque this connection to 8 in/lb using an SMA torque wrench.   
-6. Connect a 50 Ω RF cable capable of mating to the 2.92 mm K connector at J3 and torque this connection to 8 in/lb. Connect the other end of the cable to a signal source analyzer.   +  Connect a 50 Ω RF cable capable of mating to the 2.92 mm K connector at J3 and torque this connection to 8 in/lb.
