EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

STARTING UP THE EVALUATION GUI

To power the evaluation board using the ADP3336 on-board

5 V supply install a jumper on P10 connecting SUPPLY and

BRD_SUPPLY. Using an external power supply, plug the positive

supply for the evaluation board into the red terminal, P3, and

the negative terminal into P5 on the motherboard. The evaluation

board requires between 6 V to 12 V, which is then regulated to

5 V on the motherboard using the on-board ADP3336. This

supply powers both the on-board ADC, AD7266, as well as the

ADA4571-2.

To use the EVAL-ADA4571-2 evaluation board with full

USB power, install a jumper on P10, connecting VBUS and

BRD_SUPPLY. The 5 V USB power supplies the ADC

reference pin on the AD7266 as well as the ADA4571-2.

OVERVIEW OF THE MAIN GUI WINDOW

Figure 5 shows the main GUI window after launching the GUI.

When first launching the program, the SDP-S controller board

must be recognized by the GUI before proceeding. Clicking the

Connect SDP button reads the EEPROM identification of the

motherboard to ensure the correct program is being used. If the

SDP-S controller board is not connected or if the drivers are not

installed correctly, an error message appears. Ensure the drivers

are installed correctly and the PC recognizes the SDP-S controller

board if this occurs.

After the SDP-S controller board is properly connected and the

program recognizes the motherboard, the status bar reads SDP

Board Ready and the yellow LED turns green.

Initially, all figures are blank. Click the Start Sampling button

to begin sampling the device.
