Either enables or zeros out the Q input to coordinate converter. The default value is I and Q. Details

Source for Syncout CLK. The default value is CLK IN. Details

Applies dither at the input of the ADC. Set this property to TRUE to enable dither. The default value is FALSE. Details

When TRUE, updates the timing NCO frequency to zero the feedback of the phase accumulator as well as update the phase and frequency. The default value is TRUE. Details

If FALSE, enables the accumulator in the timing NCO. If TRUE, zeros out feedback in the accumulator. The default value is FALSE. Details

If TRUE, enables offset frequency in the timing NCO. If FALSE, applies no offset frequency. The default value is FALSE. Details

Specifies the number of offset bits in the timing NCO. The default value is 8 bits. Details

Controls the frequency of the timing NCO. Specifies the timing NCO center frequency in binary format:

N = (F_out / F_resampler) & 2³²

where F_out is the output frequency and F_resampler is the resampled frequency.

The value is transferred to the active register during the next initiate acquisition operation. The default value is 0X8000000. Details

Offsets the phase of the timing NCO in binary format. The value is transferred to the active register during the next initiate acquisition. The default value is 0.

Valid Range: 0 to 6.283185307179586476925286766558 Details

Selects the resampling filter mode. Details

Either enables or bypasses the resampler filter in the DDC. The resampler is a polyphase filter that allows the output sample rate to have a non-integer relationship to the input sample rate. In essence, it acts as a fixed interpolation filter followed by an NCO controlled decimator. The default value is TRUE. Details

Programs the delay between output samples when interpolating. These outputs can be delayed from 2 to 255 clocks. The default value is 16. Details

Divides down the resampler NCO output by the value loaded into the register plus one. The default value is 2. Details

Divides down the reference clock by the value loaded into the register plus one. Load with a value that is one less than the desired period. The default value is 2. Details
