Hardware Setup
3.2 Connecting the Hardware
When first setting up the EVM hardware, It is recommended to first connect the USB DAQ Platform to the
XTR108EVM-USB Interface Board. To connect the two PCBs together, gently push on both sides of the
25-pin D-SUB connectors as shown in Figure 7. Make sure that the connectors are completely pushed
together because loose connections may cause intermittent operation.

Next, connect the XTR108EVM-USB Sensor Board to the XTR108EVM-USB Interface Board by gently
pushing on both sides of the 15-pin DSUB connector. Once the XTR108EVM-USB Sensor Board is
connected, the system looks like the one in Figure 8.
