4 Software Overview

This section discusses how to use the AFE881H1EVM software.

4.1 Software Installation

Before starting software installation, verify that the USB2ANY controller is not connected or else the driver may 
not properly install.

Download and run the latest version of the EVM GUI installer from the 

Tools and Software

 section of the 

AFE881H1EVM web folder to install the EVM GUI software on your PC. The software installation automatically 
copies the required LabVIEW

™

 software files and drivers to the local machine. The AFE881H1EVM installer 

installs all the driver files necessary to operate the USB2ANY controller.

Choose the destination directory for the GUI software, accept the license agreements, and follow the on-screen 
instructions shown in 

Figure 4-1

 to complete the installation.

To use the scripting tool, the Python

™

 programming environment must also be installed. Download the latest x86 

version of Python 2.7 at
