INSTALLING THE DRIVERS

When using the ADE7953 evaluation tools for the first time,

a driver must be installed to allow successful communication.

To obtain the driver, download the evaluation board software

(ADE7953_evalboard_software.zip) from the ADE7953

evaluation board Web page. The driver can be found in the

VirCOM_Driver_XP folder.

There are two folders within the VirCOM_Driver_XP folder.

•

The Windows XP and VISTA folder contains the driver

suitable for 32-bit operating systems, such as Windows XP

and the 32-bit version of Windows Vista®.

•

The Windows 7 (64 bit) folder contains the driver suitable

for 64-bit operating systems, such as Windows 7.

Select the appropriate driver based on the operating system

used on the PC. To install the driver, follow this procedure.

1. Connect the USB cable from the PC to the interface board.

The Found New Hardware Wizard window appears,

indicating that the PC has detected the new hardware.
