Quick Start

Required Equipment
Note: In the following sections, software-related items are
identified by bold text. Text in bold refers to items directly
from the install of EV kit software. Text which is bold and
underlined refers to items from the Windows operating
system.
● MAX30001 EV kit
● MAX32630FTHR
● Micro-USB cable
● Windows PC with USB port
Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
1) Confirm that the MAX32630FTHR is firmly seated in
connectors J8 and J7 in the proper orientation.
2) Set the EV kit hardware on a nonconductive surface
to ensure that nothing on the PCB shorts together.
3) Connect the EV kit hardware to a PC with the
provided USB cable. Attach the micro-USB end
to the MAX32630FTHR board and the type A end
to the host PC. Once connected, LED D1 on the
MAX32630FTHR will blink red and LED D1 on the
EV kit board will be green.
4) Windows should automatically begin installing the
necessary device driver. The USB interface of the
EV kit hardware is configured as an HID device and
therefore does not require a unique/custom device
driver. Once the driver installation is complete, a
Windows message appears near the System Icon
menu, indicating that the hardware is ready to use.
Do not attempt to run the GUI prior to this message.
If you do, then you must close the application and
restart it once the driver installation is complete. On
some versions of Windows, administrator privileges
may be required to install the USB device.
5) Once the device drivers have been installed, download
the latest EV kit software (MAX30001EVKitSoftwareIn-
stall.ZIP) from the MAX30001 EVSYS web page
extract it to a temporary folder.
6) Open the extracted ZIP folder and double-click the
.EXE file to run the installer. If a message box stating

DECRIPTION
PC GUI Program
"The publisher could not be verified. Are you
sure you want to run this software?" appears, select
the Yes option.
7) When the installer GUI appears, click Next. Select
the installation paths and if a shortcut should be
created on the desktop. When prompted, press
Install. Once complete, click Close.
8) Double-click the shortcut to start the GUI. Alternatively, go
to Start | All Programs. Look for the
MAX30001EVKitSoftware folder and click on the
MAX30001EVKitSoftware.EXE file inside the folder.
9) After the initial splash screen, when the GUI
appears, the text in the right field of the status strip
at the bottom of the GUI window should display
Hardware Connected and the COM port associated
with the EV kit.
Detailed Description of Software
Software Startup
If the EV system is connected when the software is
opened, the software first initializes the hardware to com-
municate. The software then reads the device registers
and updates all the associated control fields displayed on
the GUI. The status strip at the bottom of the GUI displays
MAX32630FTHR firmware version, the GUI version, and
the hardware's associated COM port.
If the EV system is not connected on startup, the
Connection Issue dialog box shown in
after the GUI splash screen. Clicking OK opens the
Connection window of the GUI. Use the Scan Ports but-
ton to identify all COM ports in use by the PC and select
the port associated with the EV kit hardware in the COM
Port drop down menu. This window, shown in
may appear if connecting to the EV kit for the first time
even if the hardware is connected before starting the GUI.
Once the correct COM port is selected, press Connect at
the bottom center of the GUI to enter the main window.
The program reads all device registers and updates the
control fields of the GUI.
