not require the drivers to be installed and these steps will not be required.
The software can now be started from Start → All Programs → Texas Instruments DACs → DAC5682z
EVM Control.
The DAC5682Z EVM control software allows you to:
• Configure the DAC5682Z and CDCM7005 registers
• Save and load these register settings to/from the text files
• Visualize the data path through the DAC5682Z
• Download a pattern to the Texas Instruments TSW3100 Pattern Generator System – an FPGA-based
LVDS/CMOS pattern generator (link to TSW3100 EVM folder)
The software has five main settings that allow you to modify the functionality of the active panels. You can
switch between these settings by selecting one of the options on the Menu box. The five settings are
