\section{General Description}
The 4410/4412 Urukul card is a 4hp EEM module part of the ARTIQ Sinara family.
It adds frequency generation capabilities to carrier cards such as 1124 Kasli and 1125 Kasli-SoC.
It provides 4 channels of DDS at 1GS/s.
Output frequency from \textless 1 to \textgreater 400 MHz are supported.
The nominal maximum output power of each channel is 10dBm.
Each channel can be attenuated from 0 to -31.5 dB by a digital attenuator.
RF switches (1ns temporal resolution) on each channel provides 70 dB isolation.
4410 Urukul comes with AD9910 chips, while 4412 Urukul comes with AD9912 chips instead.

\section{Example ARTIQ code}
The sections below demonstrate simple usage scenarios of the 4410 Urukul card with the ARTIQ control system.
They do not exhaustively demonstrate all the features of the ARTIQ system.
The full documentation for the ARTIQ software and gateware is available at \url{https://m-labs.hk}.
\subsection{10 MHz Sinusoidal Wave}
Generate a 10MHz sinusoid from RF0 with full scale amplitude, attenuated by 6 dB.
Both the CPLD and the DDS channels should be initialized.
By default, AD9910 single-tone profiles are programmed to profile 7.
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
self.cpld.init()
self.dds0.init()
self.dds0.cfg_sw(True)
self.dds0.set_att(6.*dB)
self.dds0.set(10*MHz)
\end{minted}
If the synchronization feature of AD9910 was enabled, RF signal across different channels of the same Urukul can be synchronized.
For example, phase-coherent RF signal can be produced on both channel 0 and channel 1 after configuring an appropriate phase mode.
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
self.cpld.init()
self.dds0.init()
self.dds0.cfg_sw(True)
self.dds0.set_phase_mode(PHASE_MODE_TRACKING)
self.dds0.set_att(6.*dB)
self.dds1.init()
self.dds1.cfg_sw(True)
self.dds1.set_phase_mode(PHASE_MODE_TRACKING)
self.dds1.set_att(6.*dB)
self.dds0.set(frequency=10*MHz, phase=0.0)
self.dds1.set(frequency=10*MHz, phase=0.25) # 0.25 turns phase offset
\end{minted}
Note that the phase difference between the 2 channels might not be exactly 0.25 turns, but it is a constant.
It can be negated by adjusting the \texttt{phase} parameter.
\newpage
\subsection{DDS RAM Modulation (AD9910 Only)}
This examples demonstrates that the RF signal can be modulated by amplitude using the RAM modulation feature of AD9910.
By default, RAM profiles are programmed to profile 0.
\begin{minted}{python}
from artiq.coredevice.ad9910 import RAM_MODE_CONT_RAMPUP
def prepare(self):
self.amp = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.7, 0.0, 0.7, 0.7] # Reversed Order
self.asf_ram = [0] * len(self.amp)
@kernel
def init_dds(self, dds):

The generated RF output of the above example consists of the following features in sequence:
\begin{enumerate}
\item A 10 MHz RF pulse for 2 microseconds.
\item No signal for 1 microseconds.
\item A 10 MHz RF pulse for 1 microseconds.
\item No signal for 3 microseconds.
\item Go back to item 1.
\end{enumerate}
The expected waveform is plotted on the following figure.
\begin{figure}[h]

\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{ad9910_amp_mod.png}
\caption{Expected waveform from the RAM modulation example}
\end{figure}
Multiple RAM channels can also be synchronized.
Similar to the 10 MHz single-tone RF signals, specify \texttt{phase} when calling \texttt{dds.set()} in \texttt{configure\char`_ram\char`_mode}.
For example, set phase to 0 for the channels (\texttt{phase=0.0}).
\begin{minted}{python}
dds.set(frequency=10*MHz, phase=0.0, ram_destination=RAM_DEST_ASF)
\end{minted}
Then, replace the \texttt{run()} function with the following.
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
self.core.break_realtime()
self.cpld.init()
self.init_dds(self.dds0)
self.init_dds(self.dds1)
self.dds0.set_phase_mode(PHASE_MODE_TRACKING)
self.dds1.set_phase_mode(PHASE_MODE_TRACKING)
self.configure_ram_mode(self.dds0)
self.configure_ram_mode(self.dds1)
\end{minted}
Two phase-coherent RF signal with the same waveform as the previous figure should be generated.
