Question
Which encoding scheme does the AD9484 use? I would like to determine the time
it takes to fill the HSC-ADC-EVALC FIFO.
Answer
Sample figures on the canvas and DLL execution speed for 64k samples (this is
the max capture size):
The canvas runs at at around 140ms (machine specific). The data read function
in the DLL looks to run at about 13ms (machine specific), so it’s likely a user
could make an application that could do this.
However, this time is not guaranteed as it’s not set up to be time-critical and
it is machine-variant.
The above times were attained using a PC with Intel Core2 Duo CPU running at
3.06GHz, with 2 GB of RAM.
