Requirements
The Data Capture Demo requires that the modules:
- FTDI chips Port B is in OPTO isolated mode
- the FPGA Intel MAX 10 is programmed with the demo specific firmware
If the module is in initial delivery condition boot requirements are not meet, so
all steps need to be taken.
Download
Compressed folder, containing all necessary files for the demo - Download-Link
Software which needs to be installed prior to configure the module.
For changing the FTDI configuration:
...
The compressed folder needs to be extracted, so that the contend can be used inside other programs.
The demo itself
...
For programming the FPGA Intel MAX 10:
- Intel - Quartus prime Lite Edition (Version 18.1) - Download-Link
- Arrow-USB-Blaster-Setup (Version 2.2) - Download-Link
- the firmware, a *.pof file as part of the compressed demo folder
Quartus prime and Arrow-USB-Blaster need to be installed prior to updating the firmware.
In addition, the compressed folder needs to be extracted.
This demo although requires the installation of Visual Analog (Version 1.9.48.1) - Download Link
FTDI Port B OPTO isolated mode

Parameter description: COM14 - COM port which is used for the connection. 115200 - Baud rate which is used for the connection. 1024 - Amount of K samples to read, minimum 64 and maximum is 1024. c:\temp\capture.txt - File name and path which specifies where to storage the data. 1 - Command to adjust for the modules gain, possible values are: TEI0015 and TEI0016: 1 for a gain of 1, 2 for a gain of 2, 4 for a gain of 4 and 8 for a gain of 8 TEI0023: 1 for a gain of 0.25, 2 for a gain of 0.5, 3 for a gain of 1, 4 for a gain of 2, 5 for a gain of 4, 6 for a gain of 8 and 7 for a gain of 16
Befor running the demo, in Visual Analog, fill into the Pattern Loader the ADC sampling rate of your module: TEI0015 - 2 MHz / Resolution - 18 bit TEI0016-0x-08-C8A - 0.5 MHz / Resolution - 16 bit TEI0016-0x-08-C8B - 1 MHz / Resolution - 16 bit TEI0023 - 2 MHz / Resolution - 18 bit
This sampling rate is only changed, when the demo has been run.
It is often necessary to fill in the value two times before it is recognized. In dependency to the language settings, 0.5 MHz is sometimes not recognized, try instead of the separation point (0.5) a separation comma (0,5) or without the zero (.5 ,5) In the graph section, one can check the present sampling rate - In addition, the ADC resolution needs to be adjusted also. In the Input Formatter Box, press onto
the small Button, and adjust in the new appearing window the resolution.

Quick test with a terminal program- Figure out the correct COM port number for the AnalogMAX DAQ1 board
- Open the device manager.
Open ports and identify the port used by the AnalogMAX DAQ1 as visible in Figure 10.
- Open terminal and set the parameters (example use for putty).
- Set the connection type to Serial.
- Set the "Serial line" to your above found COM port.
- Set the "Speed" to 115200.
- Use "Open" to start the connection.
- Type following character for the appropriate usage.
- "?" to get the ID (AnalogMAX DAQ1 will return "1", DAQ2 will return "2")
- "t" to trigger ADC capture into the memory - 1M samples.
- "." to get one ADC sample.
- "+" to get 128 samples.
- "*" to get 16*1024 samples.
