The A/D converter evaluation boards can be used in either of two modes. The first mode is the Manual or Stand Alone mode where the board can be used with suitable test equipment to evaluate the A/D converter's performance. The second mode is the Computer or Automatic mode. In this mode, evaluation is simplified by connecting the board to the WaveVision Data Capture Board, which is connected to a personal computer through a serial communication port.

How to find the right evaluation board:
Select the type of A/D Converter or D/A Converter from the table above to find links to order an evaluation board or data capture board, download the users' guide, view product folders, and download the appropriate version of the WaveVision software.
