GETTING STARTED

SETUP SEQUENCE SUMMARY

The evaluation board installation instructions are for the
Windows XP® operating system with English (United States) set
for its language. The regional and language settings of a PC can
be changed in the Regional and Language directory within the
Control Panel (Start/Control Panel/Regional and Language/
Formats). The installation consists of the following steps that
are described in detail in the sections that follow.
1. Install the AD5933 graphical user interface software on the
CD that accompanies the evaluation board. Do not connect
the USB cable from the
computer USB hub until the evaluation software is properly
installed. See the Installing the Software section for
additional information.
2. Connect the computer USB port to the evaluation board
using the USB cable provided in the evaluation kit and run
the USB hardware installation wizard after the evaluation
software is correctly installed (the hardware installation
may happen automatically depending on the settings of the
current operating system). See the Connecting the USB
Cable section for additional information.
3. Ensure that the appropriate links are made throughout
the evaluation board. Prior to opening and running the
evaluation software program, power up the evaluation
board appropriately. See the Verifying the Links and Power
Up section for additional information.
4. Configure the front panel of the evaluation board software to
run the required sweep function. See the Performing a
Frequency Sweep section for additional information.

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

To install the evaluation board software, use the following steps:
1. Put the evaluation board CD into the CD drive of the PC
and click Start/My Computer.
2. The CD software installation may happen automatically
after the CD is inserted into the CD drive; however, this may
depend on the settings of the current operating system. If the
software installation does not automatically start, go to
AD5933 Installation/Setup.exe and double-click Setup.exe
to install the software on the PC through the installation
wizard (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).
