EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The EVAL-AD7352/AD7356/AD7357 evaluation kit includes self-
installing software on a CD-ROM for controlling and evaluating
the performance of the AD7352, AD7356, or AD7357 when
the part is operated with the EVAL-CED1Z. The software is
compatible with Windows® 2000/XP®. If the setup file does not
run automatically, setup.exe can be run from the CD-ROM.
When the CD-ROM is inserted into the PC, an installation
program automatically begins. This program installs the evaluation
software. The software should be installed before the USB cable
is connected between the EVAL-CED1Z and the PC. This ensures
that the appropriate USB driver files have been properly installed
before the EVAL-CED1Z is connected to the PC.
SETTING UP THE EVAL-CED1Z
This section describes how the evaluation board, the EVAL-
CED1Z, and the software should be set up to begin using the
complete system.
1. Install the AD7352/AD7356/AD7357 evaluation board
software.
2. Connect the EVAL-CED1Z board to the evaluation board
via the 96-way connector.
3. Apply power to the EVAL-CED1Z via the 7 V, 15 W power
supply provided. At this stage, the green LED labeled Power
on the EVAL-CED1Z illuminates, indicating that the
EVAL-CED1Z is receiving power.
4. Connect the USB cable between the PC and the EVAL-
CED1Z. A green LED positioned beside the USB connector
on the EVAL-CED1Z board illuminates, indicating that the
USB connection has been established.
5. After the EVAL-CED1Z is detected, proceed through any
dialog boxes that appear, using the recommended options,
to finalize the installation.
6. Start the EVAL-AD7352/AD7356/AD73577 software. In the
Part Information section on the main menu of the software
click the relevant part number from the drop-down box.
This sends the FPGA code to the EVAL-CED1Z. The two
red LEDs, D14 and D15, on the EVAL-CED1Z illuminate,
indicating that the EVAL-CED1Z is functional and ready
to receive instructions.
When the software is run for the first time with the EVAL-CED1Z
connected to the PC, the PC automatically finds and identifies
the new device. Follow the on-screen instructions that appear to
install the drivers for the EVAL-CED1Z on the PC. If an error
appears on-screen when the software is first opened, then the
PC is not recognizing the USB device. This error is corrected by
the following procedure:
1. Open the PC Device Manager. The Device Manager is
accessed by right-clicking the My Computer icon on the
desktop and then selecting Properties. When the System
Properties window opens, select the Hardware tab.
2. Click Device Manager in the Hardware tab of the System
Properties window.
3. Examine the devices listed under the Universal Serial Bus
Controller heading.
4. If an unknown device is listed, right-click the option and
select Update Driver.
5. The New Hardware Wizard runs twice, and the following
hardware is listed under the ADI Development Tools: ADI
Converter Evaluation and Development Board (WF).
6. Reboot the PC.
