In this example, we have captured data from a 12-Bit
ADC. Remember that the data that we are plotting is the
bin count information. The ADC output codes that were
exercised ranged from code 236 to code 3865. The
maximum count was set to 16384 (with DIP switches 4
and 5 OFF) and for this particular data record the
maximum count was reached at the ADC output code of
3864. To analyze the converter’s linearity, you can left
click on the “DNL_INL” button, and you will see the
following analysis window:
For more information about this analysis technique,
please refer to Section IV of this document, the com-
ments in the DNL_INL script file, or the IEEE Standard for
Digitizing Waveform Recorders (IEEE Std 1057-1994).

Getting Started
To use the Data Capture board to capture data from
National’s DRCS Evaluation Board, you will need the
following
Several analysis tools are provided in the form of Matlab
scripts. It will prove helpful if the user has some familiarity
with the CLC5902 data sheet and the Diversity Receiver
Evaluation Board User Manual document.

General Description and Program Options
Data from the Diversity Receiver ChipSet (DRCS)
Evaluation Board can be captured from either of its two
serial outputs, its parallel outputs, or its debug outputs.
The serial in-phase and quadrature-phase data can
also be captured simultaneously for quadrature data
analyses. The Data Capture Board always returns 32,768
24-bit words via the serial port as 96K bytes. Each word
is interpreted as a 24-bit two’s complement integer and
stored as 32K ASCII words in a user defined file. Each
value is terminated with a carriage return (hexadecimal
0D). When a Diversity Receiver Evaluation Board is
attached to the Data Capture Board, data narrower than
24 bits is aligned to the most significant bit with unused
lower bits set to 0s. Serial data is always 24-bits wide.
Because of the various DRCS data output formats, care
