Connect it before testing. The test generates a sine wave on each of the 4 DDS channels with a constant amplitude and different frequencies. -Connect both differential outputs of DC2303-A to the oscilloscope and set these two channels to math substract. +Connect both differential outputs of DC2303-A to the oscilloscope and set a math function to substract these two channels. + +If you are using the Siglent, to maximize the sample rate, use channels 1 and 3. + +On the oscilloscope screen, you should see a constantly shifting signal. + +To fully verify the output, use the FFT function.
