GETTING STARTED
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The EVAL-AD5676SDZ and EVAL-AD5676RSDZ evaluation
boards use the Analog Devices ACE software. ACE is a desktop
software application that allows the evaluation and control of
multiple evaluation systems.
The ACE installer installs necessary SDP drivers and .NET
Framework 4 by default. Install ACE before connecting the SDP
board to the USB port of the PC to ensure that the SDP board is
recognized when it connects to the PC. Use the following link
to download the software, and access full instructions on how
to install and use this software:
http://www.analog.com/ace .
After the installation is finished, the EVAL-AD5676SDZ and
EVAL-AD5676RSDZ evaluation board plug-ins appear when
you open ACE.
INITIAL SETUP
To set up the evaluation board, take the following steps:
1.
Connect the evaluation board to the SDP-B board and
connect the USB cable between the SDP-B board and the PC.
2. Power the SDP-B and evaluation board by connecting
6 V dc to the J3 connector.
3. Run the ACE application. The EVAL-AD5676SDZ /
EVAL-AD5676RSDZ board plug-ins appear in the
attached hardware section of the Start tab.
