GETTING STARTED
INSTALLING THE APPLICATIONS WAVETOOL
Download the Applications Wavetool software package from
the EVAL-ADPD144RIZ-SF product page. Unzip the folder and
run the Applications Wavetool executable file. Follow the
prompts, beginning with the
Applications Wavetool Setup
window shown in Figure 2 for software installation. The
Applications Wavetool is periodically updated to add features
and improve performance. It is recommended that customers
use the latest revision to take advantage of new features and
performance.

CONNECTING THE EVAL-ADPDUCZ
MICROCONTROLLER BOARD AND THE EVAL-
ADPD144RIZ-SF
Connect the USB cable to the EVAL-ADPDUCZ and the ribbon
cable to the EVAL-ADPD144RIZ-SF. Switch the power switch
to the
ON position.
When the power switch is in the ON position, the LED near the
power switch illuminates, indicating that the EVAL-ADPDUCZ
microcontroller board is on. When the USB cable is connected
to the
EVAL-ADPDUCZ , the second LED near the power
switch illuminates, indicating that the on-board battery is
charging.
CHECKING THE USB SERIAL CONNECTION IN
WINDOWS
Ensure that the communications port (COM port) driver is
installed correctly. To verify proper installation, go to
Control
Panel > All Control Panel Items > System > Device Manager ,
as shown in Figure 3. In this case, the proper COM port choice
is
USB Serial Port (COM16) .
The EVAL-ADPDUCZ microcontroller board uses an
FT232 USB, universal asynchronous receiver transmitter
(UART) IC. If the USB driver does not install properly, refer to
the FTDI driver installation guide that corresponds with the
operating system in use.

UPDATING THE EVAL-ADPDDUCZ FIRMWARE
The EVAL-ADPDUCZ microcontroller board may have an
older version of the firmware installed during manufacturing.
If the user receives the message shown in Figure 4 when trying
to connect to the Applications Wavetool, the
EVAL-ADPDUCZ
must be updated.
