Software Setup
This section provides the procedure for EVM software installation.
2.1.1
Operating Systems
The EVM software is compatible with the Windows™ 7, 8, and 10 operating systems.
2.1.2
Software Installation
The software is available on the product folder, and can also be found in the
Search for
DAC53401EVM
inn the GUI Composer Gallery. Use the down arrow symbol to download the
software. There are two downloads:
DAC53401EVM GUI
and
GUI Composer Runtime
. Either download
both, or just download the EVM GUI; the runtime can be downloaded through the EVM GUI during
installation. The software can also be run online by clicking; however, only after the firmware and driver
are upgraded. After the software is downloaded onto the PC, navigate to the download folder, and run the
DAC53401EVM software executable, as shown in
. When the DAC53401EVM software is
launched, an installation dialog window opens and prompts the user to select an installation directory. If
left unchanged, the software location defaults to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\DAC53401
EVM
as shown in
. If there is no previous installation of the
GUI Composer Runtime
application,
the installer also requests for an automatic download from the web. Select either
Install from Web
to
download and install from the web, or
Install from PC
and provide the path to the local file that is already
downloaded. The runtime also installs the USB drivers, unless the drivers are already installed.
