NOTE: The software is continually under development. These instructions and screen images are

current at the time of this writing, but may not exactly match future releases.

The program for evaluating the ADS7924EVM-PDK is called ADCPro. This program uses a series of

software plug-ins to communicate with the EVM. The ADS7924EVM-PDK plug-in is included in the

ADS7924EVM-PDK package.

If this is the first time to install ADCPro and the plug-ins, follow these procedures to run ADCPro and

complete the necessary driver installation. Make sure the ADCPro software and device plug-in software

are installed from the CD-ROM as described in Section 7.1, Installing the ADCPro Software.

The program currently runs only on Microsoft Windows platforms of Windows XP; Windows Vista and

Windows 7 are NOT supported.

Follow this procedure to run the ADCPro software and download the firmware to the MMB3.
