How to use VisualAnalog for AD9273

Question

Hi, 
 I am playing around with AD9273 in Visual Analog, because this ADC model is available. I am trying to inject a sinewave and see the reconstructed digitised output in the time domain. 
 I am playing around with the Tone Generator. 
 
 It seems that the amplitude is in dB units. Is there anyway we can set up a tone but with amplitude in mV or Voltage units instead of dB? 
 
 Thanks, 
 Yaohua

Hi YHZ123 , 
 Unfortunately, we cannot change the units in the tone generator. One way to approach this is you could use the graph function to see the actual output. Another way is you can calculate the corresponding Voltage values from the dB values. Here is a calculator: Utilities: VRMS/dBm/dBu/dBV calculators | Analog Devices . By default, the calculator assumes a 50 ohm termination and sinewave waveforms. You may change them accordingly.
