EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

The EVAL-AD9833SDZ evaluation kit includes the software and

drivers on CD. The software is compatible with Windows® XP,

Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

To install the software, follow these steps:

1. Install the software before connecting the SDP board to the

USB port of the PC.

2. Start the Windows operating system and insert the

EVAL-AD9833SDZ evaluation kit CD.

3. Download the AD9833SDZ LabVIEW® software. The correct

driver, SDPDriversNET, for the SDP board should download

automatically after LabVIEW is downloaded, supporting

both 32- and 64-bit systems. However, if the drivers do not

download automatically, the driver executable file can also

be found in the Program Files/Analog Devices folder.

Follow the on-screen prompts to install the SDPDriverNet

Version 1.3.6.0.

4. After installation of the software and drivers is complete, plug

the EVAL-AD9833SDZ into the SDP board and the SDP

board into the PC using the USB cable included in the box.

5. When the software detects the evaluation board, proceed

through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize the

installation (Found New Hardware Wizard/Install the

Software Automatically and so on).
