evaluation board software. The software is compatible with
Windows® XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (both 32 bits

it is connected to the PC.
To install the software,
1. Start the Windows operating system and insert the CD into
the CD-ROM drive.
2. The installation software opens automatically. If it does not
open automatically, run the setup.exe file from the CD.
3. After the installation is complete, power up the evaluation
board as described in the Power Supplies section.
4. Connect the EVAL-AD5142DBZ
to the SDP board, and then connect the SDP board to the
PC using the USB cable included with the SDP board.
5. When the software detects the evaluation board, follow the
instructions that appear to finalize the installation.
