Click on the settings button on the FFT Analysis block and configure the settings in Visual Analog to match the NSR settings that have been programmed into the AD6684. Under Advanced Calculation, click the Enable box, select AD6674 NSR, and then select the appropriate bandwidth mode and tuning word. Make sure to set the Bandwidth to match the mode.

| - The VDR mode (complex/real), bandwidth (25%/43%), and tuning word can be configured from the **Device View** in ACE. VDR defaults to 25% bandwidth complex mode with a tuning word of 0. In this example a real input signal is used so the tuning word and mode must be changed. See the AD6674 data sheet for more details on the available bandwidth modes and tuning words. To access the device view, double-click the **AD6684** icon from the **AD6684 Eval Board** view which will bring up the view below. In this example VDR is set to **Dual Real 25% BW Mode** with the tuning word set to 6. Once the settings have been entered click **Apply Changes** in the upper left of the **Device View**. This will apply changes to the ADC Pair (Pair AB or Pair CD) selected in the **Device View**. To do so, set the **ADC Pair Selection** to the desired pair, configure the block diagram as desired and click **Apply Changes** in the upper left of the window.
