To properly condition our signal for digitization, we use a Texas Instruments [Texas Instruments LMH5401 EVM](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/LMH5401EVM/5031896?s=N4IgTCBcDaIDIFkASBWALABgIwFEBqCIAugL5A) evaluation board. This board takes in one or two signals and outputs two voltages above (V<sub>p</sub>) and below (V<sub>m</sub>) a common voltage (V<sub>cm</sub>). For full scale, the RFSoC4x2 requires an offset voltage of V<sub>cm</sub> = 0.7V (note that this is also true for the ZCU216 evaluation board, but the ZCU111 evaluation board requires V<sub>cm</sub> = 1.2 V). Additionally, the differential amplifier requires two voltages for power, which are optimally set to (V<sub>cm</sub> + 2.5) = 3.2V and (V<sub>cm</sub> - 2.5 )= -1.8. A labeled diagram of the LMH5401EVN is shown in the figure below.

To control the laser with TTL pulses you must connect your laser to the PMOD located on the corner of the board. To connect, we cut the female head off a PMOD cable and soldered on a female BNC head instead. PMOD A 0-7 are enabled for QICK-DAWG (in the demo we use PMOD 0). The image below provides a schematic of the PMOD on the RFSoC4x2.

You should hear the fan above the RFSoC chip begin to whir and you should see green LED lights blinking all over the board. After about 30 seconds the boot light should turn green and the LED screen will display the board's IP address. Your setup should resemble the schematic below.
