Also install th

ACE

 software to configure the device

ACE

 is 

the software that is used to load the registers in the 

AD9166

The 

ACE

 software enables full access to the 

AD9166

 register 

map and has several views and features that simplify its use. 
Many of th

ACE

 software features are detailed in the ACE User 

Guide section. 

Download this software online from the

The 

ACE

 software package includes the required plugins for the 

AD9166-FMC-EBZ evaluation board. 

INITIAL SETUP 

Complete the following initial steps to get started with the 
evaluation of the device: 

1.

 

Install the 

DPGDownloader

 software on the PC. Analog 

Devices, Inc., recommends verifying the basic setup before 
making any modifications to the evaluation board.  

2.

 

Connect the PC to th

ADS7-V2EBZ

 using the USB 

connector.  

3.

 

Connect the evaluation board to th

ADS7-V2EBZ

 using 

the FMC connector. 

4.

 

Switch the power connector on th

ADS7-V2EBZ

 to power 

up both the evaluation board and th

ADS7-V2EBZ

Several different configurations and scenarios are explained in 
this user guide with step by step instructions. Choose the 
configuration that meets the requirements. A summary of the 

ACE

 user guide is provided in the ACE User Guide section.
