EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE QUICK START PROCEDURES
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The
AD5325
evaluation software is compatible with Windows®
Vista (64-bit/32-bit) and Windows 7 (64-bit/32-bit).
Install the software before connecting the
SDP-B
board to the
USB port of the PC to ensure that the
SDP-B
board is
recognized when it connects to the PC.
To install the
AD5325
evaluation software, take the following
steps:
1.
Start the Windows operating system.
2.
Download the installation software from the
EVAL-
AD5325DBZ
evaluation board page.
3.
Run the
setup.exe
file from the installer folder if it does not
open automatically.
4.
After the installation is complete, power up the evaluation
board as described in the Power Supplies section.
5.
Connect the
EVAL-AD5325DBZ
evaluation board to the
SDP-B
controller board and connect the
SDP-B
board to
the PC using the USB cable included in the evaluation kit.
6.
When the software detects the
EVAL-AD5325DBZ
,
proceed through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize
the installation.
RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
To run the program, do the following:
1.
Connect the evaluation board to the
SDP-B
board and
connect the USB cable between the
SDP-B
board and the PC.
2.
Power up the evaluation board as described in the Power

.
If the
SDP-B
board is not connected to the USB port when the
software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see Figure 2).
Connect the evaluation board to the USB port of the PC and
wait a few seconds. When the
SDP-B
board is detected, the
display is updated (see Figure 3).
Alternatively, the software can be used without an evaluation
board. The software runs in simulation mode displaying
expected outputs based on the input data. The main window of the
AD5325
evaluation software then opens, as shown in Figure 4.
