Additional: Alice is not installed in the program directory. I use the adalm1000 throug a usb 3 hub. Mayby this is a cause?
Alice desktop 1.1 and the meter software keeps on crashing after several minutes under windows 10. Ik keep getting the message "the software has stopped". What is causing this?
ADALM1000 firmware upgrade problem.
First off, I'm real new to this. The only other type of board I've used is T.I.'s launch pad with Energia.
I did the following :
- plugged it in and started PixelPlus2 0.90. It didn't find the ADALM1000.
- searched the web and followed the instructions to load drivers with zadig
- my pc found it as AMALM1000.
- PixelPlus2 found it and indicated I needed a firmware update, which didn't work
- search the web, learned about BOSSA. I shorted out the two pins and the LED went off as the instructions indicated.
- I did auto scan with BOSSA but it doesn't find the device.
- below is what BOSSA did and below that a screen shot of the AMALM1000 showing up as unknown device.
- I'm running on a desktop Dell optiplex running 32-bit Win7 home edition.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Are there differing response times for various Photo Diodes?
I am trying to build a LiDAR experiment utilizing the Time-of-Flight technique. Doing so requires advanced timing circuitry in the sub-nanosecond range. One of my concerns is the response time of the Photo Diode. Is there a certain characteristic that I need to look for when choosing a Photo Diode for my project?

PuxelPulse doesn't work on Windows 10
I bouth ADALM1000 and ADALP2000 for one of my students and soft for ADALM1000 (PixelPulse2 version 0.8 and 0.85) doesn't work in Windows 10. This is somewhatdisappointedme becauseI expected thatthis will workout of the box.
What I need to do for start learning process with ADALM1000?
Pixelpulse2 with ADALM1000 on Linux
Hello,
I use openSUSE 13.2, KDE 4 and QT5.
The Pixelpulse2 is running, but if i try to save or restore data i got the error message:

Will it be possible to feed in a reference clock to the ADALM-PLUTO?
I'm interested in whether it would be possible to use the ADALM-PLUTO time-of-arrival localization. This requires a very stable clock. I wonder whether it will be possible to feed in an external reference clock? In the revision-B schematics, it looks like there is no connector or jumper to switch from the built-in 40MHz oscillator to an external clock.
Also, if I do feed the clock from an external source (even if this involves removing the 40MHz oscillator), how difficult will it be to switch from 40MHz to 10Mhz? I see that the AD9363 does support 10MHz clocks, but will it is reasonably easy to configure the firmware for this clock frequency?
Thanks, Sivan Toledo, Tel-Aviv University
Expose 2nd RX and TX port of ADALM-PLUTO
Hi ADALM-PLUTO Designer(s),
some advanced users may want to utilize the second RX channel and TX channel of the AD9363. They generally have no problem adding some coupling Cs, baluns and coaxes to a system, but "digging" to the pin between the BGA and the PCB is generally frowned upon.
So please expose one differential pair of the second RX and TX channel from the ICs pins with a nice solderable pad (with at least one via holding it to the FR4). You can connect it to its termination net via a zero ohm resistor.
If you are feeling extra generous and have some real estate left, you could also provide some non populated footprints for decoupling Cs, baluns and micro coax soldering pads. But thats low priority.
Anyway, I think this is a really cool project, especially at that price.

ADALM1000 on Raspberry Pi
Hello,
I tried to use ADALM1000 on Raspberry Pi.
I referred to Github for installing libsmu.
GitHub - analogdevicesinc/libsmu: Software abstractions for the analog signal exploration tools.
First, I didn't use python script which is ALICE1.1 package .pyw code.(It has pythonpath error on script.)
When I tried to following command. It could work on ADALM1000 on Raspberry pi.
- Raspberry Pi2
- OS: NOOBS 2.3.0
******************************
<Setup software on Raspberry Pi>
apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev
apt-get install python2.7-dev
apt-get install cmake
git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libsmu.git
<Install libsmu>
cd ~/libsmu
cmake -DBUILD_PYTHON=ON .
cd /usr
sudo ldconfig
cd
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
<Set pythonpath>
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages:${PYTHONPATH}
source ~/.bashrc
sudo make
sudo make install
<Implement Python code>
cd ~/ALICE
python alice-xxxxxxx
******************************
If I don't do "source ~/.bashrc", python script didn't work.(It has pythonpath error).
So, when I add the code(source ~/.bashrc), it could work the python code on Raspberry Pi.
However, if I close terminal window on Raspberry pi, it has pythopath error again.
If I do "export...." and "source..." command. It could work the script again.
It seems to reset the pythonpath setting by closing the terminal window.
Do you have any idea to fix the pythonpath of pysmu(libsmu)??
In addition, ALICE1.1 script didn't work from Python2(IDLE) which is IDE of Python on Raspberry Pi.
If I use ALICE on Raspberry pi, I have to use on terminal.
I checked pythonpath on Path Browser of the IDE. There is no path of libsmu.
I don't have enough experience to use Linux.
So, I don't know whether this pythonpath setting is spec of Raspberry Pi.
Please would you give me advice.
Thanks and best regards,
Jun
What is the expected voltage range on the 2.5 V output on the ADALM1000?
I have been using the ADALM1000 to work through the labs in the Engineering Discovery set. While doing the first two Class A amplifier labs I noticed my output is not centered around 2.5 V as per the reference voltage used but rather just under 2.4 V which seems to be lower than what is expected given the tolerances of the parts used when building the amps. I checked the 2.5 V output with a Keysight U1232A and am seeing 2.434 V. The hardware design indicates the 2.5 V output comes from an ADR381 precision voltage reference with a range of +- 6 mV at room temperature. I seem to be getting about 10 times worse. Is this normal for the ADALM1000, is something not quite right with my ADALM1000, or have I improperly read the datasheet/measured wrong?
ADALM2000 - Purchasing from official Analog Devices webpage
Hello there,
I have noticed that the ADALM2000 is being sold only in the Analog Devices webpage and not the other distributors as of this time. So if I have to purchase the ADALM2000 from the official site, should I still wait for weeks for the product to be manufactured, or are they already in stock?
Also, I could not find the software for the ADALM2000 kit anywhere. Should I purchase this seperately as well?
Finally, what are the exact specifications of the kit? Is it powered with an FPGA, like the Digilent's Analog Discovery 2?
Thanks.

How can I make HMC284MS8G switch in DC operation?
Hi.
I'm using HMC284MS8G chip for switch.
I want to use this HMC284MS8G chip in DC.
If I inject DC voltage to RFC port, the waveform of output is not pulse waveform.
In the datasheet, the switch can operate in DC.
But it doesn't operate in DC.
So, I want to know the DC Block Capacitor value of HMC284MS8G chip in DC switch operation
or I don't know whether I need to use DC Block capacitor in DC switch operation.
And, also I want to konw how to make this HMC284MS8G chip for DC switch operation.
Thank you.
ADALM1000 latest firmware
Hello,
I have a question about firmware of ADALM1000.
Wiki states that v2.08 is required in the page of Alice.
(https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/m1k/alice/desk-top-users-guide)
But v2.06 is the latest version in GitHub.
(https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/m1k-fw/tags)
When installing from Pixelpulse2, the version was v2.06.
Is it wrong that it is described as v2.08 ?
ADALM1000 USB trouble
I just received my ADALM1000 and I can't get it to recognize the USB. I'm running Win7 32 bit and it shows in other devices in the device manger. And it says no driver I tried to update the driver and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions
Is ADALM2k a open source project just like ADLAM1K?
and more related questions:
Why ALM2K choose to use different GUI interface, not use ALICE?
Is there a plan to provide case enclosure for alm1k? The usb port is not mounted rather than solder points. More or less like a prototype rather than a product.
How many alm1k has been produced? Are there any reversion on alm1k since hardware reversion D? David mentioned that there is a resistor value change on voltage regulation circuit. Any other changes? Would any change log recorded, e.g. in github?
alm2k is the replace to alm1k, or they both both have place in the product line for AD ALM ecosystem? Could anyone describe the vision and road map?
thanks

Use ADALM1000 to record 30 seconds length of data
Hi, Dave and all ADALM1K experts,
I plan to use adalm1000 as DQA device.
The board has fixed sample rate of 100k SPS, with buffer size about 100k records, the total length of data is 1 second.
I wonder what is the best way to pull out the data of the board continuously and reliably with minimum effort. The Application I would like to apply would have up to 30 seconds duration.
I also like to display/replay the whole length of data with ALICE.
Another question is about time stamps. I wonder if I can add accurate time stamp along with Voltage record on CA and CB, e.g. by using of RTC on the ATSAM3U1C?
I understand the current data record is indexed with fixed time interval of 10 microseconds, based on 100k SPS of the ADC.
I am new to Python, any example would be helpful.
Thanks

Tuning ADALM-PLUTO beyond the 325-3800MHz range
Our application requires receiving RF signals below 325 MHz. However, according to the advertised feature of ADALM-PLUTO and the RF transceiver the device uses (AD9363), it is only capable of tuning from 325 MHz up to 3800 MHz.
Is it possible to tune the device and receive signals lower than 325 MHz?
Thanks!
