5 ADS9218EVM Software Installation

This section covers the installation and operation of the ADS9218EVM software graphical user interface (GUI). This software requires the TSWDC155EVM (sold separately) controller to operate. The fist steps to installing the software (as shown in Figure 5-1) is to download the latest version of the EVM GUI installer from the Tools and Software folder of the ADS9218EVM, and run the GUI installer to install the EVM GUI software on your computer. Accept all the license agreements and choose the destination location, project directory, and start menu. Typically, the default values work, but you can customize these values as needed based on your requirements.

Next, the installer prompts you to create a desktop icon and summarize the installation plan. Pressing Install begins copying software onto your computer. This process takes a few minutes. At completion, you can launch a readme text file and the application. Figure 5-2 shows these steps.
