EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The evaluation kit for the AD569x(R) includes self-installing
software on the CD. The software is compatible with Windows® XP,
Windows Vista (32-bit), and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). The
software must be installed before connecting the SDP board to the
USB port of the PC to ensure that the SDP board is recognized
when it connects to the PC.
To install the software, take the following steps:
1. Start the Windows operating system and insert the CD.
2. The installation software should open automatically. If it does
not open automatically, run the setup.exe file from the CD.
3. After installation is complete, power up the evaluation
board as described in the Power Supplies section.
4. Connect the evaluation board to the SDP board and the SDP
board into the PC using the USB cable included in the box.
5. When the software detects the evaluation board, proceed
through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize the
installation.
RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
To run the program, do the following:
1. Connect the evaluation board to the SDP board and connected
the USB cable between the SDP board and the PC.
2. Power the SDP and the evaluation board by connecting 6 V
to the J3 connector.

3. Click Start > All Programs > Analog Devices > AD56x(R).
Each AD5696R, AD5696, AD5694R, and AD5694 has its
own version of software. Click the appropriate one to run the
software. As the software connects to the evaluation board,
the message in Figure 2 displays.
Figure 2. Connection Message
If the SDP board is not connected to the USB port when
the software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see
Figure 3 ). Simply connect the evaluation board to the USB
port of the PC, wait a few seconds, click Rescan, and follow
the instructions.

Alternatively, the software can be used without an evaluation
board. The software runs in simulation mode displaying
expected outputs based on the input data. The main
window of the AD569x(R) evaluation software then
opens, as shown in Figure 4.
