3. Turn off the VC707 board power (SW12) before installing the AMS 101 card on the
VC707 board XADC header J35.
4. Plug the AMS 101 Card into the XADC header J35 on the VC707 board as shown in
Figure 1-11.
5. Connect the VC707 board to the host computer and power supply as shown in
Figure 1-11.
6. Turn board power on (SW12).
Examine Analog Mixed Signal Features
The AMS evaluator tool (Figure 1-13) is useful for examining analog signals in the time
and frequency domains, displaying linearity, viewing the XADC register settings, and
monitoring the internal FPGA temperature sensor and supply voltages. The AMS
evaluator tool also provides user-controllable decimation on the XADC output data to
enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance.
