EVALUATION BOARD QUICK START PROCEDURES
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The EVAL-AD5693RSDZ evaluation board uses the ACE
software, a desktop software application that allows the
evaluation and control of multiple evaluation systems.
The ACE installer installs necessary SDP drivers and the
Microsoft® .NET Framework 4 by default. The ACE software is
available for download from the EVAL-AD5693RSDZ product
page and must be installed 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. For full instructions on how to install
and use this software, see the
ACE software page on the Analog
Devices website.
After the installation is finished, the EVAL-AD5693RSDZ
evaluation board plug in appears when the ACE software is
opened.
INITIAL SETUP
To set up the evaluation board, take the following steps:
1. Connect the evaluation board to the SDP board, and then
connect a USB cable between the SDP board and the PC.
2. Run the ACE application. The EVAL-AD5693RSDZ board
plug ins appear in the attached hardware section of the
Start tab.
3. Double click the board plug in to open the board view,
shown in Figure 2.
4. Double click the AD5693R chip to access the chip block
diagram. This view provides a basic representation of
functionality of the board. The main function blocks of the
board are labeled in Figure 3.
