INSTALLING THE EVALUATION SOFTWARE
The evaluation software is available in the ADE7953_evalboard_
software.zip file, which can be downloaded from the ADE7953
evaluation board Web page. The software can be run even if a
licensed copy of LabVIEW is not available.
If the ADE7953 evaluation software will be used on the PC for
the first time, an installer must be run. This installer is available
in the ADE7953_RevG_Installer folder.
To run the LabVIEW 2010 installer, follow these steps:
1. Locate the ADE7953_RevG_Installer folder and
double-click the setup.exe file.
2. Follow the prompts to install the LabVIEW 2010
run-time engine.
When the installation is complete, the ADE7953 evaluation
software opens automatically and a shortcut is added to the
Start menu. This shortcut can be found by selecting
Programs > ADE7953_Eval_RevG.
RUNNING THE EVALUATION SOFTWARE
After the installation process is complete, the software can be
run by opening the ADE7953_Eval_RevG program from the
Start menu.
When the evaluation software is running, it should automati-
cally detect the COM port that the ADE7953 interface board is
connected to. If the port detection is successful, the COM port
number appears in the Port Control field, as shown in Figure 7
(COM3 in this example).
Figure 7. Main Window
Note that supply power to the evaluation board is not required
for COM port detection. The interface board is powered from
the USB connection from the PC.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE LAUNCH
If the software does not detect the communications port, the
message shown in Figure 8 is displayed.
Figure 8. Comm Port Not Found Message
If this message appears, the following steps should be taken:
1. Click Yes to return to the main window (see Figure 7).
2. Verify that the interface board is connected to the PC using
the USB cable.
3. Ensure that the required drivers are installed as described
in the Installing the Drivers section.
4. Using the Device Manager tool, ensure that the port is
operating correctly.
5. Manually select the correct COM port by clicking the Port
Control tab in the main window.
