CAUTION

Do not connect the ADS1246EVM-PDK before installing the software on a

suitable PC. Failure to observe this caution may cause Microsoft Windows to

not recognize the ADS1246EVM-PDK as a connected device.

The CD-ROM shipped with the ADS1246EVM contains an installer for ADCPro as well as an installer for

the ADS1246EVM plug-in. The latest software is available from the TI website at http://www.ti.com/. Refer

to the ADCPro User Guide for instructions on installing and using ADCPro.

To install the ADS1246EVM-PDK plug-in, run the file: ads1246evm-pdk-plug-in-1.0.0.exe (1.0.0 is the

version number, and increments with software version releases - you may have a different version on your

CD). Double-click the file to run it; then follow the instructions shown. You can also utilize the ADCPro

Update Check feature to check for newer versions of the ADS1246EVM-PDK plug-in, once you have

installed a version of it.

Follow the on-screen prompts. Once the ADCPro plug-in installs, you will be prompted to install the Virtual

COM port driver as shown in Figure 4.
