Figure 8. Opening the Evaluation Software
The message shown in Figure 9 will appear. This error message
is to be expected because there is no USB connection between
the computer and the AD5933 evaluation board at this stage.
Therefore, the firmware code that the evaluation software operates
from, and which needs to be downloaded to the evaluation board
USB microcontroller memory each time the interface software
program is opened, cannot be successfully downloaded to the
evaluation board. Click Cancel and proceed to Step 2.

STEP 2—CONNECT THE USB CABLE
Plug one end of the USB cable into the computer USB hub and
connect the other end to the AD5933 evaluation board USB socket
(see J1 in
Figure 37). A message may appear informing you that
a USB device has been detected on the host computer and that
new hardware has been found (see
Figure 10).

The Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box appears (see
Figure 11). This wizard locates and installs the appropriate
driver files for the AD5933 evaluation kit in the operating
system registry. Select the Install the software automatically
(Recommended) option in the main dialog box of the software
(see
Figure 11). Click Next to continue.

Figure 11. Hardware Installation Wizard
A standard Windows operating system warning message
appears, as shown in
Figure 12. This indicates that the new
hardware (the AD5933 evaluation kit) being installed on the
Windows operating system has not passed the Windows logo
testing to verify compatibility with Windows XP. This warning
appears because the installation is an evaluation setup
installation and is not intended to be used in a production
environment. Click Continue Anyway and then click Finish.
