EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

The ADT7x20 evaluation kit includes the evaluation software

on a CD-ROM. The software is compatible with Windows®

2000/XP, Vista, and Windows 7. The evaluation software must

be installed before connecting the evaluation board to the USB

port of the PC to ensure that Windows recognizes it and to

ensure that the driver is installed correctly. To install the

software, run the ADT7x20 Evaluation Software Install.exe

file from the CD-ROM.

After the installation has completed, connect the ADT7x20

evaluation board to the PC USB port using the cable supplied.

When the evaluation board is detected by the operating system,

proceed through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize the

installation.
