INA223EVM Software Overview

This section describes how to use the INA223EVM software. The software operation contains a two-step
process: configuration and operation.

5.1

Starting the INA223EVM Software

To start the INA223 software, go to the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, and then select the
INA223EVM program.

illustrates how the software should appear if the INA223EVM is

functioning properly.

Figure 14. INA223EVM Software Interface

shows the error that appears if the computer cannot communicate with the EVM. In the event

you receive this error, first ensure that the USB cable is properly connected on both ends. This error can
also occur if you connect the USB cable to your PC before the SM-USB-DIG Platform is connected to the
EVM board. Another possible source for this error is a problem with the computer USB human interface
device driver. Make sure that the device is recognized when the USB cable is plugged in, indicated by a
Windows-generated confirmation sound.
