EVALUATION BOARD SETUP PROCEDURE

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

The control software and USB drivers for EVAL-ADF4351EB1Z

are on the CD, which accompanies the board. If the user runs

ADF435x_Setup.msi, then the install wizard guides the user

through the install process. Simply follow the on-screen

instructions. The software and USB drivers will be installed

in the default directory called C:\Program Files\Analog

Devices\ADF435x. The software requires Microsoft’s .NET

framework version 3.5 or later to be installed on your machine.

The installer will automatically download the framework from

the Microsoft website if you do not have this installed. If you do

not have an internet connection or a slow connection on the

PC, then you can install the .NET framework directly from the

CD. Do this by double-clicking dotnetfx35.exe. Once installed,

run the ADF435x_Setup.msi again. Note that to install the

dotnetfx35.exe, you need to have Windows Installer 3.1 or later

installed.

1. Install the Analog Devices ADF435x PLL software by

double-clicking ADF435x_Setup.msi.

If you are using Windows XP, follow the instructions in

the Windows XP Software Installation Guide section (see

Figure 4 to Figure 8).

If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, follow the

instructions in the Windows Vista/7 Software Installation

Guide section (see Figure 9 to Figure 13).

Note that the software requires Microsoft Windows

Installer and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (or higher).

The installer connects to the Internet and downloads

Microsoft .NET Framework automatically. Alternatively,

before running ADF435x_Setup.msi, both the installer

and .NET Framework can be installed from the CD

provided.

2. Connect your SDP board (black) or USB adapter board

(green) by USB. If you are using an SDP board, the drivers

install automatically, and you are ready to run the software.

If you are using an USB adapter board on Windows XP,

follow the steps in the Windows XP Driver Installation

Guide section (see Figure 14 to Figure 17).

On Windows Vista or Windows 7, the drivers install

automatically.
