3.1.2 Software Installation

Before software installation, make sure that the AFE539A4EVM is not connected to the computer.

The software can be downloaded from the device product folders. After the software is downloaded, navigate to the download folder, and run the installer executable.

When the installer is launched, an installation dialog window opens and prompts the user to select an installation directory. If left unchanged, the software location defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\SMART-DAC-EVM-GUI as shown in Figure 4-1.

The software installation also installs the FTDI USB drivers, and automatically copies the required LabVIEW™ software files and drivers to the local machine. The FTDI USB drivers install in a second executable, shown in Figure 4-2, that is automatically launched after the AFE539A4EVM software installation is complete.
