EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The E VA L -AD5246DBZ evaluation kit includes evaluation
board software provided on a CD. The software is compatible
with Windows® XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (both
32 bits and 64 bits).
Install the software before connecting the SDP board to the USB
port of the PC to ensure that the SDP board is recognized when
it is connected to the PC. To install the software, use the
following steps:
1. Start the Windows operating system and insert the CD.
2. The installation software opens automatically. If it does
not, run the setup.exe file from the CD.
3. After installation is completed, power up the evaluation
board as described in the Power Supplies section.
4. Connect the EVA L-AD5246DBZ and EVA L-MB-LV-SDZ
into the SDP board and the SDP board into the PC using the
USB cable included in the evaluation kit.
5. When the software detects the evaluation board, follow the
instructions that appear to finalize the installation.
