EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

The AD5781 evaluation kit includes self-installing software on a
CD. The software is compatible with Windows XP (SP2) and
Vista (32-bit). If the setup file does not run automatically, you
can run setup.exe from the CD.
Install the evaluation software before connecting the evaluation
board and SDP board to the USB port of the PC to ensure that
the evaluation system is correctly recognized when connected to
the PC.
1. After installation from the CD is complete, power up the
AD5781 evaluation board as described in the Power
Supplies section. Connect the SDP board (Connector A) to
the AD5781 evaluation board and then to the USB port of
your PC using the supplied cable.
2. When the evaluation system is detected, proceed
through any dialog boxes that appear. This completes
the installation.
