RUNNING AND USING THE SOFTWARE
To launch the evaluation software:
1.
2.
Three dialog boxes are automatically loaded: Control, Profile,
and DUT Signals. You can load other dialog boxes from the
View menu. You can also program the registers of the device
directly from the Debug Window, which you can access from
the View menu.
At startup, the software searches for the presence of a function-
ing AD9956 evaluation board. If it detects the evaluation board,
a green splash screen appears, as shown in Figure 2. If it fails to
detect a working part, a red error message is displayed.
Find the executable, AD9956v.exe, in the following folder:
c:\Program Files\ADI\AD9956 Evaluation Software
Double-click the icon to launch the evaluation software. A
status window similar to Figure 2 appears in the center of
the AD9956 Evaluation Software dialog box as progress is
made in loading the evaluation software (a black window
with green text). If the software loads successfully, the text
remains green and the “software up and running” message
is displayed. If the loading fails, the text turns red, and a
message describing the failure is displayed.
