STARTING UP THE SOFTWARE:

THE MAIN PANEL

The setup program installs a Texas Instruments folder in the

Programs folder of the Start menu. Within the Texas Instru-

ments folder is the PGA2310-EVM program. Selecting this

program will startup the applications software.

Once the program is started, the Main panel will be dis-

played, as shown in Figure 1. The Main panel allows the user

to select the parallel (or printer) port address, and either

Single or Dual DUT operation. The ‘Reset All’ button will

revert all settings to their startup defaults. Pressing the

‘DUT1 Panel’ button will open a panel containing the PGA2310

control objects, as shown in Figure 2.

DETERMINING AND SETTING

THE PRINTER PORT ADDRESS

The parallel port address for your PC can be found by going

to the Start menu and selecting the Control Panel item in the

Settings menu. When the Control Panels window opens, find

the System icon and double click it. From the System

window, select the Device Manager tab by clicking on it once.

Scroll down the list of devices until you see the Ports entry.

Double click on the Ports entry to list the PC ports. One of the

ports should be a Printer Port. Double click on the Printer Port

entry to open the Printer Port window. From the Printer Port

window, select the Resources tab by clicking on it once. The

Input/Output Range is displayed (ex/ 0378 –037F). Write

down the starting number in the range (ex/ 0378), and go to

the Main panel of the evaluation module program and select

the port address that matches this number.

SINGLE OR DUAL DUT?

Most users will select Single DUT, since they will have only

one evaluation module. This will enable the DUT1 control

panel, as shown in Figure 2. If you have two demo boards

and are connecting them in a daisy-chain fashion, select Dual

DUT (Daisy-Chain). “Dual DUT (or Daisy-Chain) Operation”,

provides more details regarding daisy-chain operation.
