I did set up the pins as required (jumpper 15 and 17 pins 1 and 3 the ) but still cant get anything out..

1)is there suppose to be some input fruquency to which to run the DAC and if so what is the max or min?

2)what i have noticed is that i have to use the pin names as they appear in the datasheet is that correct(i mean the naming)?

3) i have chosen to use DAC_B and FPGA_CLK_B_P..my biggest worry is that even in the signal tap i cant get the analog waveforms and what i heard is that the signal tap should display what is suppose to be displyed on the oscilloscope,if i dont use the DAC will i still see the analog waveforms in the signal tap?

sorry for so many questions but i really have to get this working..i have got a final demo on the 17 nov

kind regards
