This is a landing page for up-to-date information and examples pertaining to the ACE remote control feature. This feature allows a user to control ACE and evaluation hardware from other languages/applications.
In order to use Python with the remote control library, you will need to install the Python.Net package. More details on the package and how to install it can be found here: https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/wiki
Currently 1GB of data can be captured with the ADS8V1 and 2GB of data can be captured with the ADS7V2 using the AsyncRawCaptureToFile transaction. The following example shows how this transaction can be used from a Python script with the AD9208 evaluation platform.
Setup: AD9208 board connected to ADS7V2 or ADS8V1 motherboard. ADC clock = 3GHz, REFCLK = 375 MHz
