[casper] problems with Valon sythn + ROACHI

Hi Casperites, For our project we are using a ROACHI with this Valon 5008 Synthesizer http://valontechnology.com/5008.html in our 4-input correlator system. We are currently seeing an issue with what seems to be our synthesizer’s 10MHz ref input. When we drive the ROACHI correlator

Hi all, I have implemented a 4 channel 200MHz correlating spectrometer on a ROACH 1 using the Virtex5 SX95T. Currently, I am trying to get this same design to compile and run on a LX110T chip instead. I know that the SX95T is much more DSP intensive and more suitable for this sort of
