Not sure if you can use it for real time analysis but you can at least do post processing analysis of the data by improting the data to the software tool. http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/adcpro.html

1. If narrow band, mix with LO and downconvert. If wideband, sample periodically to divide. 2. Feed audio frequency signal into computer's microphone or line input. 3. Record WAV and analyze with your choice of free FFT software. Mind to keep notes of LO frequency or sample rate to calculate the converted frequencies. Tim -- Deep Friar: a very philosophical monk.
