4.1 Software Installation

Before starting software installation, verify that the USB2ANY controller is not connected or else the driver may not properly install.

Download and run the latest version of the EVM GUI installer from the Tools and Software section of the AFE881H1EVM web folder to install the EVM GUI software on your PC. The software installation automatically copies the required LabVIEW™ software files and drivers to the local machine. The AFE881H1EVM installer installs all the driver files necessary to operate the USB2ANY controller.

Choose the destination directory for the GUI software, accept the license agreements, and follow the on-screen instructions shown in Figure 4-1 to complete the installation.
