ADC32RFxx-EVM

2.2

Software Installation

The proper software must be installed before beginning evaluation. See

for a list of the

required software. The

section of this document contains links to find the software on the TI

website.

Important:

The software must be installed before connecting the ADC32RFxx-EVM and TSW14J56 to the

computer for the first time.

The ADC32RFxx-EVM is controlled through an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) to provide
access to the ADC (ADC32RF4x or ADC32RF8x), clock chip (LMK04828), and clock synthesizer
(LMX2582 or LMX2592) SPI interfaces. There is a tab in the GUI for each of the devices. This GUI
requires the LabVIEW™ runtime engine, which is automatically installed during the loading of the
software.

2.2.1

ADC32RFxx EVM GUI Installation

1. Copy the provided installer software called

ADC32RFxx EVM GUI Installer.zip

(or newer revision on

the TI web, if available) under the

ADC32RFxx Customer Files\Software

folder to a local host PC.

2. Unzip the installer.

3. Go to

ADC32RF4xx EVM SPI GUI Installer\Volume

and double click on

setup.exe

.

4. Follow the installer instructions. After the installer is completed, the executable is located at

C:\Program Files(86)\Texas Instruments\ADC32RFxx EVM GUI

5. Start the GUI by double clicking on

ADC32RFxx EVM GUI.exe

or

Start Menu

→

All Programs

→

Texas Instruments

→

ADC32RFxxGUI

.

6. When plugging the board into the computer for the first time through the USB cable, you may be

prompted to install the USB drivers.

•

Windows XP: If Windows XP does not automatically install the drivers, follow the prompts on the
screen to do so. Do not let Windows XP search Microsoft Update for the drivers, but do let
Windows XP install the drivers automatically.

•

Windows 7: After installing the GUI, Windows 7 should automatically be able to install the drivers
for the ADC32RFxx-EVM with no input from the user.

2.2.2

High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI Installation

High Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDC Pro)

is used to control the TSW14J56EVM and analyze the

captured data. Please see the

HSDC Pro GUI

user’s guide (

) for more information.

1. Download HSDC Pro from the TI website. The

section of this document contains the link to

find the software on the TI website.

2. Extract the files from the zip file.

3. Run

setup.exe

and follow the installation prompts.

4. If the version of HSDC Pro is 4.5 or lower, download HSDC Pro GUI updates from the TI website. The

section of this document contains the link to find the software on the TI website.

5. Extract the files from the zip file, run

HSDC Pro Patch vx.xx.exe

and follow the installation instructions.
