TI ADC SPI Control Interface
This section describes the software features of the EVM kit. The TI ADC SPI control software provides full
control of the SPI interface, allowing users to write to any of the ADC registers found in the data sheet.
For most ADS62PXX performance evaluations, users do not need to use the TI SPI control software.
Users only need to use the ADC SPI control software when the desired feature is inaccessible through the
ADC parallel interface mode.
3.1
Installing the ADC SPI Control Software
The ADC SPI control software can be installed on a personal computer by running the setup.exe file
located on the CD. This file installs the graphical user interface (GUI) along with the USB drivers needed
to communicate to the USB port that resides on the EVM. When prompted, users should allow the
Windows
operating system to search for device drivers by checking "Yes, this time only", as seen in

5. It will find the TI ADC SPI interface drivers automatically. After the software is installed, insert the
USB cable to the EVM to finish the installation . The "Found New Hardware" wizard will start, and you
must acknowledge that the TI ADC SPI Interface has not passed the Windows
Figure
6. After completion, the TI ADC SPI Interface should show up in the Hardware Device Manager.
Figure 7
shows the SPI interface in the Hardware Manager which indicates that it is ready for use.
Note:
Before plugging in the USB cable for the first time, install the TI ADC SPI software. The
software installs the drivers necessary for USB communication.
