EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The EVAL-ADGS1412SDZ evaluation board uses the Analog
Devices Analysis Control Evaluation (ACE) software. ACE is a
desktop software application that allows the evaluation and
control of multiple evaluation systems.
The
ACE installer installs the necessary SDP drivers and .NET
Framework 4 by default. Install ACE before connecting the SDP.
The ACE software and access to full instructions on how to
install and use ACE can be found on the Analog Devices
website.
After the installation is finished, the
EVAL-ADGS1412SDZ
evaluation board plug-ins appear when opening ACE .

To set up the evaluation board, complete the following steps:
1.
Connect the evaluation board to the SDP board and
connect the SDP board to the computer via a USB cable.
2. Power the evaluation board as described in the Power
Supplies section.
