Activity 4 due Feb . nth Class 4: Software, Alice tools, Intro to M1K Experiment/Activity 4 – Software Installation and Usage of Alice tools

Dr. Mahmood A. Hameed ECSE Department Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Intro to ECSE ALICE Installation Procedure (updated) ALICE: Active Learning Interface for Circuits and Electronics

ADALM1000 (M1K) Software Application

Installation video (Windows): https://youtu.be/rT6r_AlPpbk Installation Procedure for macOS: https://github.com/belsten/ALICE-OSX_Installation Software Required to run ALICE on Windows Assumptions steps for 64-bit Windows user will not be developing own software applications

Download the software packages alice-desktop-1.3-libsmu-setup.exe latest release: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/alice/releases contains libsmu library that contains the USB drivers Windows executable installer for ALICE

3 February M. Hameed 2021 Launch Installer Run alice-desktop-1.3-libsmu-setup.exe program During installation default selections will work during setup may get an error message at the end libsmu-1.0.3-setup-x86.exe not found ignore this Alice tools are now installed!

3 February M. Hameed 2021 Next – Install PixelPulse2 Download the software package Pixelpulse2_win_setup.exe https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/Pixelpulse2/releases/tag/v1.0.4 Run the installation file During installation default selections will work during setup

3 February M. Hameed 2021 After Installation of Alice and PixelPulse2 Plug-in your M1K board to a USB port windows should recognize the new hardware red LED on M1K board should turn on

Common issue with M1K firmware if your Alice tools aren’t responding or the red LED doesn’t turn on when the board is plugged in, then you need to update the current firmware using PixelPulse2. Open PixelPulse2 and look under device manager 2. IF

3 February M. Hameed 2021 Intro to M1K board

3 February M. Hameed 2021 M1K is a SMU A Source Measure Unit (SMU) is an instrument that combines a sourcing function and a measurement function on the same pin or connector. It can source voltage or current and simultaneously measure voltage and/or current. It integrates the capabilities of a power supply or function generator, a digital multimeter (DMM) or oscilloscope, a current source, and an electronic load into a single, tightly synchronized instrument. Here is a link to the Wikipedia definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_measure_unit

Open source software runs on Windows, OS X, Linux (including Raspberry Pi) Interfaces to programming environments like Matlab, Python, and C++ 3 February M. Hameed 2021 Functions

The ALICE Desktop software provides the following functions:

✓ Two Channel Oscilloscope for time domain display and analysis of voltage and current waveforms.

✓ Two Channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) controls.

✓ X-Y display for plotting captured voltage and current vs voltage and current data, and voltage waveform histograms.

Phase Analyzer, Polar plotting of voltage and current waveform amplitude and phase

Two Channel Spectrum Analyzer for frequency domain display and analysis of voltage waveforms.

Bode plotter and network analyzer with built-in sweep generator.

Impedance Analyzer for analyzing complex RLC networks and as a RLC meter and Vector Voltmeter.

✓ DC Ohmmeter, measures unknown resistance with respect to known external resistor or known internal 50 ohms.

Board Self-Calibration using the AD584 precision 2.5V reference from the ADALP2000 Analog Parts Kit
