ADS126xEVM Software

This section explains setup and use of the ADS126xEVM software. Software setup requires installing
ADCPro (a tool used to acquire and analyze ADC data), and installing an EVM specific plugin to use
within ADCPro. Download the ADCPro user's guide from

http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/sbau128c/sbau128c.pdf

.

3.1

ADCPro and ADS126xEVM Plugin Installation

1.

Install ADCPro

Download the ADCPro installer from

http://www.ti.com/adcpro

. The

ADCPro Hardware and Software

Installation Manual

provides a step-by-step installation procedure. Install ADCPro first before installing

the ADS126xEVM plugin.

2.

Install the ADS126xEVM Plugin

Download the ADS126xEVM plugin installer from

http://www.ti.com/tool/ads1262evm-pdk

or

http://www.ti.com/tool/ads1263evm-pdk

. Run the ADS126x plugin installer after installing ADCPro.

NOTE:

The ADS126xEVM plugin installer runs an additional installation for the USBStyx driver

required to communicate with the MMB0. If the software is unable to connect to the EVM,
this driver may not have properly installed. This driver may be reinstalled with one of the
installers located at

ftp://ftp.ti.com/pub/data_acquisition/ADCPro2/misc/drivers/

. Use the

installer version (32- or 64-bit) that corresponds to the version of your operating system.

3.2

Connecting the Hardware

After ADCPro and the ADS126xEVM plugin have been installed, connect the hardware, and then run
ADCPro.

To connect the hardware, follow these steps:

1. If disconnected, connect the ADS126xEVM daughter card to the MMB0 motherboard while powered off

(as shown in

).

2. Check and configure jumper and switch settings on the MMB0 and ADS126xEVM, as described in

3. Connect any sensors or external test circuitry to the ADS126xEVM.

4. Connect the USB cable from the MMB0 to the computer.

5. Power up the MMB0 (and ADS126xEVM) with the included wall adapter or an external bench supply.

6. After powering up the MMB0 and ADS126xEVM, power up any other external circuitry.

7. Run ADCPro and follow the steps in

to communicate with the ADS126xEVM.
