Hey Dan,
I'm following along closely here. Will we also need to manually set the
registers for the katadc or is that built into the .bof file upon
execution? I am reading the KatADC data sheet along with looking at the
corr.katadc functions. Is there any documentation about the katadc block
or am I on the right track just poking around and learning - specifically
I've been working on trying to adjust tutorial 3. I'm also a little
confused about why the katadc block in ADC interleave mode has 8 outputs -
I was thinking that the interleave mode was the equivalent of Dual Edged
Sampling and that we should get 4 outputs for the 1 input. Any
documentation on this or .mdl files?
