CN-0269 Software User Guide
Overview
CN-0269 is a high performance industrial signal level multi-channel data acquisition circuit that can process 16-channels of single-ended inputs or 8-channels of differential inputs with up to 18-bit resolution.
A single channel can be sampled at up to 1.33 MSPS with 18-bit resolution. A channel-to-channel switching rate of 250 kHz between all input channels provides 16-bit performance.
The signal processing circuit combined with a simple 4-bit up-down binary counter provides a simple and cost effective way to realize channel-to-channel switching without an FPGA, CPLD or high speed processor. The counter can be programmed to count up or count down for sequentially sampling multiple channels, or can be loaded with a fixed binary word for sampling a single channel.
Required Equipment
General Setup
-
-
The
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z SDP-B Board connects to the PC via the
USB cable.
Installing the Software
Extract the file
CN0269 SDP Eval Software.zip and open the file
setup.exe.
NOTE: It is recommended that you install the CN0269 SDP Evaluation Software to the default directory path C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\CN0269\ and all National Instruments products to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\
Click
Next to view the installation review page.
Click
Next to start the installation.
Upon completion of the installation of the
CN0269 SDP Eval Software, the installer for the
ADI SDP Drivers will execute.
NOTE: It is recommended that you close all other applications before clicking “Next”. This will make it possible to update relevant system files without having to reboot your computer.
Press
“Next” to set the installation location for the
SDP Drivers.
It is recommended that you install the drivers to the default directory path
C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\SDP\Drivers
Press
“Next” to install the
SDP Drivers and complete the installation of all software. Click
“Finish” when done.
Connecting the Hardware
-
Set the JP3 and JP4 on
EVAL-CN0269-SDPZ (CN0269 Board) to select the input range and Connect the signal correctly according to the pin definition.
Connect the
USB Cable to the SDP-B Board and leave the other side of the cable unconnected.
Connect the 6V DC power to CN2 and +/-12V DC power to CN1 and Turn on the DC power supply to power up the board.
Connect the
USB Cable to PC
Using the Evaluation Software
Software Control and Indicator Descriptions
Software Overview
Connect Button
When this button is pressed, the SDP-B Board makes a
USB connection to the CN0272 Board. A connection to the SDP-B Board must be made to use the software.
Start Acquisition Button
When this button is pressed, the SDP-B Board starts to acquire data from
EVAL-CN0269-SDPZ Board.
Save Data Button
When this button is pressed, the SDP-B Board save the data into the same directory where the application is installed.
NOTE: If the CN0269 SDP Evaluation Software is installed in the default directory, the data files could be found in C:\Program files\Analog Devices\CN0269\.
Control Tabs
Configuration Tab: All the configuration items through
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z Board to
EVAL-CN0269-SDPZ board are organized on this tab. More details about
Configuration Tab will be introduced in the following Section.
Multi-Channel Tab: This tab shows all the signals on one tab which is convenient to compare the signals from different channels. More details about Multi-Channel Tab will be introduced in the following Section.
Single Channel Tab: This tab shows the specific channel which is more clearer than Multi-Channel Tab. More details about Single Channel Tab will be introduced in the following Section.
SDP Information: The Firmware version of
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z Board is shown on this tab. More details about
SDP Information Tab will be introduced in the following Section.
