Sinara 5432 DAC Zotino / Sinara 5632 DAC Fastino

JSON

{
  "type": "zotino",
  "ports": [<port num>]
}

{
  "type": "fastino",
  "hw_rev": "v1.2", // optional
  "ports": [<port num>]
}

Fastino uses two physical EEM channels, but in the JSON file there should be only one channel specified, and it should be the one connected to Fastino's EEM0.

Setup

Connect the BNC/SMA-IDC adapters to the Zotino/Fastino with 26-pin cable if needed by customer. Be aware of the ports order - see reference numbers on the board.

Testing

After running artiq_sinara_test:

*** Testing Zotino DACs and USER LEDs.
Voltages:
zotino0 0.1 -0.1 0.2 -0.2 0.3 -0.3 0.4 -0.4 0.5 -0.5 0.6 -0.6 0.7 -0.7 0.8 -0.8 0.9 -0.9 1.0 -1.0 1.1 -1.1 1.2 -1.2 1.3 -1.3 1.4 -1.4 1.5 -1.5 1.6 -1.6
Press ENTER when done.

*** Testing Fastino DACs and USER LEDs.
Voltages:
fastino0 0.1 -0.1 0.2 -0.2 0.3 -0.3 0.4 -0.4 0.5 -0.5 0.6 -0.6 0.7 -0.7 0.8 -0.8 0.9 -0.9 1.0 -1.0 1.1 -1.1 1.2 -1.2 1.3 -1.3 1.4 -1.4 1.5 -1.5 1.6 -1.6
Press ENTER when done.

Touch with multimeter/DC voltmeter each pair of pins from bottom to top (left pins are ground)
Check that respective pins have voltages as described by artiq_sinara_test
If there are BNC/SMA-IDC adapters, also check their voltages - they should be the same
Check LEDs are on

Common problems

High-freq audible noise and output values all near -0.1 on Zotino v1.4.2

This may happen when power-cycle is too short. Power down the crate, wait at least 30 seconds, and power up again. Issue.
