Step 1. Install the ADCPro software (if not already installed) on a PC.

Step 3. Set up the ADS1672EVM-PDK.
Step 4. Connect a proper power supply or use the included AC adapter.
Step 5. Run the ADCPro software.
Step 6. Complete the Microsoft Windows USB driver installation process.

The latest software is available from Texas Instruments' website at http://www.ti.com/ . The CD-ROM
shipped with the ADS1672EVM may not contain the latest software, but the ADCPro installer will check for
updates when executed (if connected to the Internet), and then give you the option of downloading and
installing the latest version. Refer to the http://focus.ti.com/lit/ug/sbau128/sbau128.pdf for instructions on
installing and using ADCPro.
To install the ADS1672EVM-PDK plug-in, run the file: ads1672evm-pdk-plug-in-1.0.0.exe ( 1.0.0 is the
version number, and increments with software version releases; you may have a different version on your
CD). Double-click the file to run it; then follow the instructions shown. After installation, you can use the
ADCPro Update Check feature to check for newer versions of the ADS1672EVM-PDK plug-in.
The software should now be installed, but the USB drivers may not have been loaded by the PC operating
system. The USB driver upload step will complete when the ADCPro software is executed (see
Section 11.2 , Running the Software and Completing the Driver Installation).
