FAQ

How to build a test system for the fmc-adc board?

Please refer to this page explaining how to set a completed test system.

Do you have an example of the PTS log files?

Yes, in this log_fmcadc100m14b4cha.7z file you find an example of the log files that the PTS system generates after having tested one card.

How do you calibrate the fmc-adc boards?

We calibrate our boards as part of the production test system (PTS), which is documented in the fmc-adc-100m14b4cha-tst project.
The PTS consists of a series of python-based tests running on our specific test configuration (described in the wiki above).
Specifically for calculating the gains and offsets of the DAC and ADC, you can have a look at the test19.py program.
