1. Select the
ADC1443D product
To quit the interface,
please click ‘quit’
4. Select the number
of points for FFT
3. Enter the sampling
frequency
7. ‘GREEN’ when
USB is ready
8. ‘GREEN’ when
Acquisition is
ready
6. Click ‘INITIALIZATION’
5. Enter the input
frequency. The
coherent frequency will
be automatically
2. Select ‘Coherent’ for
optimized FFT processing.
Otherwise select ‘Not
coherent’
4. ADC acquisition tool
4.1 Software start-up
To install the software, please refer to appendix A ‘Software and drivers install’.
Run the application “HSDC_SW_ADC_4.exe”. This application will allow:
the user to control features through the SPI;
as well as performing any online data acquisition to evaluate the performances.

performances can be
calculated over a
reduced bandwidth
6. Performances are
available in the table
5. Click acquire to process
data acquisition and
FFT processing
4. Select ‘Continuous
acquisition’ for real-time
processing
1. Select the channel to
display
1. If ‘Not coherent’, select
a window for procesing
4.5 Acquisition
In case of bad acquisition or when changing the sampling frequency, take care to reset
the FPGA by pushing on-board button PB3.
