EVAL-AD7707EB
AD7707 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
The AD7707 evaluation board is shipped with a 3½" disk containing software that can be installed onto a standard PC to control
the AD7707.
The software uses the printer port of the PC to communicate with the EVAL-AD7707EB, so a Centronics printer cable is
used to connect the PC to the evaluation board.
Software Requirements and Installation
The software runs under Windows 3.1™ or Windows 95™ and typically requires 4Mb of RAM.
To install the software the user should start Windows and use either File Manager (in Windows 3.1) or Windows Explorer
(in Windows 95) to locate the file called SETUP.EXE on the floppy disk. Double clicking on this file will start the installation
procedure. The user is prompted for a destination directory which is "C:\AD7707" by default. Once the directory has been
selected the installation procedure will copy the files into the relevant directories on the hard drive. The installation program
will create a Program Group called "Analog Devices" on the desktop for Windows 3.1 or in the "Start" taskbar for Windows95.
Once the installation procedure is complete the user can double click on the AD7707 icon to start the program.
Features of the Software
1. The software will allow the user to write to and read from all the registers of the AD7707.
2. Data can be read from the AD7707 and displayed or stored for later analysis.
3. The data that has been read can be exported to other packages such as Mathcad or Excel for further analysis.
