4.1 Installation Instructions

  • Download the latest version of the HSDC Pro GUI to a local location on a host PC. This file can be found on the TI website by searching for high speed data converter pro gui installer.
  • Unzip the software package to generate a folder named High Speed Data Converter Pro - Installer v6.0.exe, where 6.0 is the version number. Run this program to start the installation.
  • Make sure to disconnect all USB cables from any EVM boards before installing the software.
  • Follow the onscreen instructions during installation.
  • Click on the Install button.
  • A new window opens. Click the Next button.
  • Accept the license agreement. Click on the Next button to start the installation.
  • After the installer has finished, click the Next button one last time.
  • The installation is now complete. The current release of GUI executable and associated files resides in the following directory:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro. Future releases can be located in other locations.
  • Connect the USB cable between J2 of the TSW1418EVM and a host PC. LED D2 is now illuminated.
  • To start the GUI, click on the file named High Speed Data Converter Pro.exe, located under
    C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro.
Note:

If an older version of the GUI has already been installed, then make sure to uninstall the older version before loading a newer version.

Note:

When new TI high-speed data converter EVMs or new interface modes become available that are not currently supported by the latest release of High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI, there is a path file available. The HSDCProv_xpxx_Patch_setup executable file allows the user to add these new EVMS and modes to the GUI device list. The patch file is available on the TI website under the High Speed Data Converter Pro Software product folder: http://www.ti.om/tool/DATACONVERTERPRO-SW.

After the patch has been downloaded, follow the on-screen instructions to run the patch. The software displays the files to be added. After running the patch, open HSDC Pro, and the new parts and modes appear in the ADC device drop-down selection box. The patch is always specific to a core GUI version, and does not work for a GUI version for which the patch was not explicitly created.
