Software Start-Up

4 Software Start-Up

4.1 Installation Instructions

Follow the steps below:
1. Download the latest version of the
website by entering HIGH SPEED DATA CONVERTER PRO GUI INSTALLER.
2. Unzipping the software package generates a folder called "High Speed Data Converter Pro - Installer
vx.xx.exe", where x.xx is the version number. Run this program to start the installation.
3. Make sure to disconnect all USB cables from any TSW14xxx boards before installing the software.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions during installation.
5. Click on the Install button. A new window opens. Click the Next button.
6. Accept the License Agreement. Click on the Next button to start the installation. After the installer has
finished, click the Next button one last time.
7. The installation is now complete. The GUI executable and associated files resides in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro.
8. Power up the TSW14J59 under test. Connect the USB3.0 cable between the EVM and a host computer.
9. To start the GUI, click on the file called "High Speed Data Converter Pro.exe", located under
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro.
If an older version of the GUI has already been installed, then make sure to uninstall before loading
a newer version. If the GUI detects that a newer version of the GUI is available online
www.ti.com/tool/DATACONVERTERPRO-SW), then the GUI assists the user with downloading the
latest version from the TI website. The GUI automatically prompts the product website for the latest
version every seven days but the latest version check can also be manually invoked through use of
the pull-down menu Help→Check for updates.
When new TI high-speed data converter EVMs or JESD204C_B interface modes become
available that are not currently supported by the latest release of HSDC Pro GUI, the
HSDCProv_xpxx_Patch_setup executable, available on the TI website under the High Speed Data
Converter Pro Software product folder (http://www.ti.com/tool/DATACONVERTERPRO-SW), allows
the user to add these to the GUI device list. After the patch has been downloaded, follow the
on-screen instructions to run the patch. The software displays the files that are added. After running
the patch, open HSDC Pro and the new parts and modes appear in the ADC and DAC device
drop-down selection box. The patch is always specific to a core GUI version and do not work for a GUI
version for which the patch was not explicitly created.

4.2 USB Interface and Drivers

• Connect a USB 3.0 cable between J9 of the TSW14J59EVM and a host PC.
• Connect the provided power cable between J38 of the EVM and a +12 VDC source rated for at least 3 A.
• Set SW1 to ON. LEDs D21 (+12 V present), D22 (power monitor supply), and several power status LEDs are
turned on.
1. Click on the High-Speed Data Converter Pro icon that was created on the desktop panel, or go to
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro and double click on the executable
called High Speed Data Converter Pro.exe to start the GUI.
2. The GUI first attempts to connect to the EVM USB interface. If the GUI identifies a valid board serial
number, then a pop-up opens displaying this value, as
TSW14J59 EVMs to one host PC, but the GUI can only connect to one at a time. When multiple boards are
connected to the PC, the pop-up displays all of the serial numbers found. The user then selects which board
to associate the GUI with.
