 +There are two versions of the  [[adi>AD9681|AD9681]] evaluation board [[adi>AD9681|AD9681-125EBZ]]. The earlier version uses two 60 pin Tyco connectors (TE Connectivity AMP Connector 6469169-1) and interfaces to the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALDZ]] capture board. The new version has an FMC connector (Samtec ASP-134488-01) and interfaces to the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALEZ]] capture board. Both versions of the board perform the same function and this user guide applies to both.

 ==== Configuring the Board ==== ==== Configuring the Board ====
 Before using the software for testing, configure the evaluation board as follows:  Before using the software for testing, configure the evaluation board as follows: 
-  - Connect the evaluation board to the data capture board, as shown in Figure 1.+  - Connect the evaluation board to the data capture board, as shown in Figure 1. The Tyco connector version slides horizontally to connect to the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALDZ]]. For the FMC connector version, align the FMC connector of the [[adi>AD9249|AD9249-65EBZ]] over the connector on the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALEZ]], and carefully press them together. Note that FMC connectors often come from the factory with a sticker that prevents connection. Remove this sticker (if present) before attempting to make the connection.
   - On the ADC evaluation board, confirm that the jumpers are installed as shown in Figure 2.   - On the ADC evaluation board, confirm that the jumpers are installed as shown in Figure 2.
   - Connect one 6V, 2.5A switching power supply (such as the CUI, Inc., EPS060250UH-PHP-SZ that is supplied) to the [[adi>AD9681|AD9681-125EBZ]].   - Connect one 6V, 2.5A switching power supply (such as the CUI, Inc., EPS060250UH-PHP-SZ that is supplied) to the [[adi>AD9681|AD9681-125EBZ]].

-  - Connect the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALDZ]] board (P702) to the PC using a USB cable. +  - Connect the capture board to the PC using a USB cable. 
   - On the ADC evaluation board, use a clean signal generator with low phase noise to provide an input signal to the desired channel(s). Use a shielded, RG-58, 50Ω coaxial cable (optimally 1 m or shorter) to connect the signal generator. For best results, use a narrow-band, band-pass filter with 50Ω terminations and an appropriate center frequency. (Analog Devices, Inc. uses TTE, Allen Avionics, and K&L band-pass filters.)   - On the ADC evaluation board, use a clean signal generator with low phase noise to provide an input signal to the desired channel(s).
