CAUTION
Do not connect the ADS1278EVM-PDK before installing the software on a
suitable PC. Failure to observe this caution may cause Microsoft Windows to
not recognize the ADS1278EVM-PDK.
The latest software is available from the TI website at http://www.ti.com/ . The CD-ROM shipped with the
ADS1278EVM may not contain the latest software, but the ADCPro installer will check for updates when
executed (if connected to the Internet), and then give you the option of downloading and installing the
latest version. Refer to the
ADCPro User Guide for instructions on installing and using ADCPro.
To install the ADS1278EVM-PDK plug-in, run the file: ads1278evm-pdk-plug-in-1.1.0.exe ( 1.1.0 is the
version number, and increments with software version releases - you may have a different version on your
CD). Double-click the file to run it; then follow the instructions shown. You can also utilize the ADCPro
Update Check feature to check for newer versions of the ADS1278EVM-PDK plug-in, once you have
installed one version of it.
The software should now be installed, but the USB drivers may not yet have been loaded by the PC
operating system. This step will complete when the ADCPro software is executed; see
Section 9.4 ,
Running the Software and Completing Driver Installation .
