Download the latest version of the HSDC Pro GUI (slwc107x.zip) to a local directory on a host PC. This is found on the TI website by entering “HIGH SPEED DATA CONVERTER PRO GUI INSTALLER” in the search parameter window at www.ti.com.

Unzipping the software package generates a folder called High Speed Data Converter Pro - Installer vx.xx.exe, where x.xx is the version number. Run this program to start the installation.

Follow the on-screen instructions during installation.

Click on the Install button. A new window opens. Click the Next button.

Accept the License Agreement. Click on Next to start the installation. After the installer has finished, click on the Next button one last time.

The installation is now complete. The GUI executable and associated files will reside in the following directory.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro

When new TI high-speed data converter EVMs or JESD204B interface modes become available that are not currently supported by the latest release of HSDC Pro GUI, the HSDCProv_xpxx_Patch_setup executable, available on the TI website under the High-Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDCP) Software product folder (http://www.ti.com/tool/dataconverterpro-sw), will allow the user to add these to the GUI device list. After the patch has been downloaded, follow the on-screen instructions to run the patch. The software displays the files that will be added. After running the patch, open HSDC Pro and the new parts and modes will appear in the ADC and DAC device drop-down selection box. The patch is always specific to a core GUI version and will not work for a GUI version for which the patch was not explicitly created.
