Hello Mark, I realised that the ADC yellow block is for the 2x1GSPS ADC while the ADC0083000 is the one for the the 3GSPS board I have. That explains why the .bof you mentioned and the one I created didnt work, since when I replaced the ADC block was to fix a 'library reference' problem,and I use the same block of the tutorial.
The question now is that my simulink library does not have a 'ADC0083000' block but a 'ADC0083000x2' which I guess can be used with a single board too. I replaced the ADC block by the ADC083000x2 and used the 4 LSBs to connect to the PFB block in the tutorial design. I terminated the rest of the block connectors and leaved everything else unchanged. Now I am getting 'error due to multiple causes' when trying to simulate. To see how I connect the block you can have a look this screenshoot: http://www.das.uchile.cl/~rfinger/ROACH/tut3_adc83000.png Am I in the right direction?, or this is not the block to run a single 083000 ADC board? is there a log to look the multiple causes errors of the simulation to start debugging? Thanks! Ricardo.
