EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The AD5780 evaluation kit includes self-installing software on
a CD. The software is compatible with Windows XP (SP2) and
Vista (32-bit). If the setup file does not run automatically, you
can run the setup.exe file from the CD.
Install the evaluation software before connecting the evaluation
board and SDP board to the USB port of the PC to ensure that
the evaluation system is correctly recognized when connected to
the PC.
1. After installation from the CD is complete, power up the
AD5780 evaluation board as described in the Power Supplies
section. Connect the SDP board (via either Connector A or
Connector B) to the AD5780 evaluation board and then
to the USB port of your PC using the supplied cable.
2. When the evaluation system is detected, proceed through any
dialog boxes that appear. This completes the installation.
SOFTWARE OPERATION
To launch the software, complete the following steps:
1. From the Start menu, select Analog Devices – AD5780 >
AD5780 Evaluation Software. The main window of the
software then displays (see Figure 3).
2. If the evaluation system 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, wait a few seconds, click Rescan, and follow
the instructions.
