Quick-Start Troubleshooting

Use

Table 2. Troubleshooting Tips

Issue

Troubleshooting Tips

General problems

Verify the test setup shown in

Section 2

and repeat the setup procedure as described in

this document.

Check power supplies to the EVMs. Verify that the power switches are in the ON position
and supplies are drawing the appropriate current.

Check signal and clock connections to the EVM.

Check that all boards are properly connected together.

Try power-cycling the external power supply to the EVM and reprogram the ADC devices.

TSW1400 LEDs are not correct:
D2 – D9 OFF

Verify the settings of the configuration switches on the TSW1400EVM.

Verify that the EVM configuration GUI is communicating with the USB and that the
configuration procedure has been followed.

Try capturing data in HSDC Pro to force an LED status update.

HSDC Pro software is not
capturing good data or analysis
results are incorrect.

Verify that the TSW1400EVM is properly connected to the PC with a mini-USB cable and
that the board serial number is properly identified by the HSDC Pro software.

Check that the proper ADC device is selected. In default conditions, ADC08060_cmos
should be selected.

Check that the analysis parameters are properly configured.

Check that the fundamental power is no larger than –1 dBFs.

HSDC Pro software gives a time-
out error when capturing data

Restart HSDC Pro and reload the firmware.

Verify that the ADC sampling rate is correct in the HSDC Pro software.

Sub-optimal measured
performance

Measure test points to verify operating voltage ranges.

Verify the jumper configurations are in default locations.

Verify that filters are used in the clock and input signal paths and that low-noise signal
sources are used.
