8 Revision History

Revision A (March 2012)
Changed and Added figures and text throughout the document
Added section 7 - TSW1405 Functional Description
Revision B (September 2012)
The GUI supports the TSW1406 Low Cost pattern Generation card in addition to the TSW1400 and TSW1405.
Master and slave triggering modes are available for the TSW1400. Under 'Data Capture Option' there is now a 'Trigger Option' menu with two sub-options. 'Trigger Mode Enable' allows externally triggering capture into DDR memory through SMA connector named 'EXT_TRG_IN' while 'Software Trigger' generates a trigger on the four SMA connectors labeled 'SYNC'
Added FFT Averaging feature (with or without continuous capture). This feature performs 'n' continuous captures (max = 10) and averages the FFT's on the fly to reduce noise
Complex FFT feature is now available for the DAC panel. The 'format' dropdown above the FFT plot controls whether the FFT is visualized in real or complex mode.
Includes ‘DAC channel enable’ feature that allows one to selectively send zeroes to selected DAC channels
Increased speed of Continuous Capture function.
The notch frequency bins menu option is disabled in all modes except single tone.
Revised defaults for notch filters ( 25:25:25) in windowed modes only. Rectangular window modes filter parameters unchanged.
Peak to Peak amplitude and PAR values are now displayed for time domain DAC and ADC.
FFT plot in DAC mode defaults to windowed (Blackman window) mode when creating tone or loading file with >64K samples.
The Time domain plot color is now dark blue (both on the context plot and main plots).
Test Options tab added option to display the X axis scale in "time" instead of "Samples".
The Bandwidth Integration Markers could earlier be swapped, causing problems. Now they cannot.
GUI auto-disconnects gracefully if the USB cable is unplugged and some user operation is attempted.
GUI includes a "Check for Updates" feature that checks (every 7 days) for latest version and prompts a download if a newer version is available for download at the TI product page. Feature is also accessible from menu.
Advanced "FFT x scale" feature in Device INI to adjust the FFT x scale for decimated sample rate devices.
Revision C (December 2013)
Added TSW14J56 information to Table 1.
Replaced section 3, "Software Start Up", with section of the same name from High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI (SLWU087).
Removed section 4, "User Interface".
Replaced section 5, "ADC Data Capture Software Operation", with section of the same name from High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI (SLWU087).
Replaced section 6, "TSW1400 Pattern Generator Operation", with section of the same name from High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI (SLWU087).
Revision D (April 2016)
Changed 1st paragraph of the Power Connections section.
