User Guide

USB 3.0 - Ensure no other high bandwidth items such as card readers, capture cards, cameras etc are connected to the bus.

If your system does not have USB 3.0 you may want to pickup an USB 3.1 or 3.2 Gen 2 card, or a ExpressCard to USB 3.0 adapter.

Hardware Dips

There is 10 dips or 2 pairs of 5 for each ADC channel & amplifier.

1 = Up

0 = Down

This value is relative to the orientation of the label on each physical DIP switch i.e ON will always be at the top position of a DIP.

Important

To capture CVBS RF Ensure SW101 DIP's 1 & 4 are set to ON - this enables AC coupling.

Coupling & Input Resistance

This uses 2 DIPS all of one and 2 of the other

DIP 1 (4 Pin)

Value 1 Sets Pre-Termination

Input Termination Setting 1 2 3 4
AC Coupling 0XXX 0
DC Coupling 1XXX 1

0 AC Coupling

1 DC Coupling


Value 2 & 3 (Mirrored 2 & 1) Sets Input Impedance

Input Impedance Ohm Setting 1 2 3 4
50 Ohm 10 1 1
75 Ohm 00 0 0
37.5 Ohm 10 1 0
30 Ohm 11 1 1

75Ohm Is standard for Video applications.

50Ohm Is standard for RF applications


Value 4 Sets Post-Termination

Input Termination Setting 1 2 3 4
AC Coupling XXX0 0
DC Coupling XXX1 1

0 AC Coupling

1 DC Coupling


DIP 2 (3 Pin)

Input Impedance Ohm Setting 1 2 3
50 Ohm 10 1 1 0
75 Ohm 00 0 0 0
37.5 Ohm 10 0 1 0
30 Ohm 11 0 1 1
Zero Adjust Static XX0 0
Zero Adjust Trim Pot XX1 1

When value 3 of the 3 Pin DIP is in the 1 position the value can be adjusted with the trim pot marked zero adjust.

Input Range & Format

DIP 5 (2 Pin)

Value 1 Sets Format

Value 2 Sets Range

This DIP assigns input range, and to used Signed or Unsigned sampling

Input Range Volts Setting 1 2
1Vpp 0 1
2Vpp 1 0
Unsigned 0 0
Signed 1 1

Gain

DIP 3 & 4 (3 Pin)

There is 2 input stages and 2 operational amplifiers.

This is controlled by the DIP switches.

There is 2 Gain DIPs for Negative/Positive, you want to mirror the values on both for standard use.
