Connect a DC590 controller or DC2026 Linduino with
DC590 emulator firmware to the DC2196A with the supplied
ribbon cable. Connect low-noise analog power supplies
as shown in Figure 1. A ±15V supply will allow all of the
SoftSpan ranges to be used, refer to the LTC2666 data
sheet for other supply options if not all SoftSpan ranges
are used.
Connect the controller to the host PC’s USB port and run

installed, after which a jumper setting window will appear
as shown in Figure 2. The default settings are internal

output on power-up. If the jumpers on the board have been
changed to a different configuration, select the appropri-
ate options in the pull-down menus to match the board.
Click OK and the main dialog will appear. The control panel

ing per-channel SoftSpan ranges, toggling, Power-Down,
