EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE OPERATION
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
To launch the software, complete the following steps:
The AD5791 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 setup.exe from the CD.
1. From the Start menu, select Analog Devices – AD5791 >
AD5791 Evaluation Software. The main window of the
software is displayed (see Figure 3).
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.
2. If the evaluation system is not connected to the USB port
when the software is launched, a connectivity error is
displayed (see Figure 2). Connect the evaluation board to
the USB port of the PC, wait a number of seconds, and
click Rescan. Follow the instructions.
1. After installation from the CD is complete, power up
the AD5791 evaluation board as described in the Power
Supplies section. Connect the SDP board to the AD5791
evaluation board and then to the USB port of your PC
using the supplied cable.
