Running the Software and Completing Driver Installation

Note: The software is continually under development. These instructions and screen images are current at

the time of this writing, but may not exactly match future releases.

The program for evaluating the ADS7953EVM-PDK is called ADCPro. This program uses plug-ins to

communicate with the EVM. The ADS7953EVM-PDK plug-in is included in the ADS7953EVM-PDK

package.

The program currently runs only on Microsoft Windows platforms of Windows XP; Windows Vista is NOT

supported at the time of this writing.

If this is the first time installing ADCPro and the EVM plug-ins, follow these procedures to run ADCPro and

complete the necessary driver installation.

For the first screen, Figure 6, it is not necessary to search for the software; it has already been
