Software Start-Up
4.1
Installation Instructions
•
Download the latest version of the
to a local location on a host PC. This can be found
on the TI website by entering “HIGH SPEED DATA CONVERTER PRO GUI INSTALLER”.
•
Unzipping the software package will generate a folder called “High Speed Data Converter Pro -
Installer vx.xx.exe", where x.xx is the version number. Run this program to start the installation.
•
Make sure to disconnect all USB cables from any TSW14xxx boards before installing the software.
•
Follow the on-screen instructions during installation.
•
Click on the “Install” button. A new window opens. Click the “Next” button.
•
Accept the License Agreement. Click on the “Next” button to start the installation. After the installer has
finished, click the “Next” button one last time.
•
The installation is now complete. The GUI executable and associated files will reside in the following
directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro.
•
Power up the TSW14J57 under test.
•
To start the GUI, click on the file called “High Speed Data Converter Pro.exe", located under
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro.
NOTE:
If an older version of the GUI has already been installed, make sure to uninstall it before
loading a newer version. If the GUI detects that a newer version of the GUI is available
online (
http://www.ti.com/tool/DATACONVERTERPRO-SW
), it will assist the user with
downloading the latest version from the TI website. The GUI automatically interrogates the
product website for latest version every seven days but the latest version check can also be
manually invoked through use of the pull-down menu Help->Check for updates.
NOTE:
When new TI high speed data converter EVMs or JESD204B interface modes become
available that are not currently supported by the latest release of HSDC Pro GUI, the
HSDCProv_xpxx_Patch_setup executable, available on the TI website under the High Speed
Data Converter Pro Software product folder (
http://www.ti.com/tool/DATACONVERTERPRO-
), will allow the user to add these to the GUI device list. After the patch has been
downloaded, follow the on-screen instructions to run the patch. The software displays the
files that will be added. After running the patch, open HSDC Pro and the new parts and
modes will appear in the ADC and DAC device drop-down selection box. The patch is always
specific to a core GUI version and will not work for a GUI version for which the patch was not
explicitly created.
