INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The EVA L -AD5546SDZ kit includes the software and drivers on a
CD. To install the software, follow these steps:
1. Install the software before connecting the SDP board to the
USB port of the PC.
2. Start the Windows® operating system and insert the EVA L -
AD5546SDZ CD.
3. Download the E VA L -AD5546SDZ LabVIEW™ software.
The correct driver for the SDP board, SDPDriversNET,
should download automatically after LabVIEW is
downloaded, supporting both 32- and 64-bit systems.
However, if the drivers do not download automatically, the
driver executable file can also be found in the Program
Files/Analog Devices folder. Follow the on-screen prompts
to install it.
4. After installation of the software and drivers is complete, plug
the EVA L -AD5546SDZ into the SDP board and the SDP
board into the PC using the USB cable included in the kit.
5. When the software detects the evaluation board, proceed
through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize the
installation (for example, Found New Hardware Wizard
and Install the Software Automatically).
RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
To run the evaluation board program, do the following:
1. Click Start/All Programs/Analog Devices/EVAL-
AD5546SDZ.
2. If the SDP board is not connected to the USB port when
the software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see
Figure 3). Simply connect the evaluation board to the USB
port of the PC, wait a few seconds, click Rescan, and follow
the instructions.
