Hi,
I was working on developing a data acquisition system using ads1178. I am in testing phase of the entire system.
I am a newbie, if some one could help me the name of the tests and procedures for analyzing the noise characteristics of the entire system?
I took my data and done a FFT characteristics(using labview), but the SINAD I am getting is around 36 dB which is basically around 6ENOB, is way below the datasheet. Am i in the right path? Or should I perform some other tests or any testing condition/procedures I have to follow? Any reference/ tutorial to test will be helpful.
Could I use ADC pro for analyzing my data? Is there any software recommended for analyzing my data with out me writing the code?
Note: I am using STM32 micro controller to acquire data. The input signal was a 100 z sine wave from a 12 bit agilent signal generator. 33520A
