EVAL-AD7719-EB
AD7719 SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
The AD7719 evaluation board is shipped with a CD-ROM containing software that can be installed onto a standard PC
to control the AD7719.
The software uses the printer port of the PC to communicate with the AD7719, so a Centronics printer cable is used to
connect the PC to the evaluation board.
Software Requirements and Installation
The software runs under Windows ME 2000 NT™ and typically requires 8Mb of RAM.
To install the software the user should start Windows and insert the CD-ROM disc. The installation software should
launch automatically. If not, use Windows Explorer to locate the file 'setup.exe' on the CD-ROM. Double clicking on
this file will start the installation procedure. The user is prompted for a destination directory which is "C:\Program
Files\ANALOG DEVICES\AD7719" 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" with sub-group 'AD7719' in the "Start" taskbar. Once the installation procedure is complete the user
can double click on the AD7719 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 AD7719.
2. Data can be read from the AD7719 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.
