Note: If an older version of the GUI has
already been installed, then make sure to uninstall before loading a newer version.
If the GUI detects that a newer version of the GUI is available online (
http://www.ti.com/tool/DATACONVERTERPRO-SW), then the GUI assists the
user with downloading the latest version from the TI website. The GUI automatically
prompts the product website for the latest version every seven days but the latest
version check can also be manually invoked through use of the pull-down menu
Help→
Check for updates.
Note: When new TI high-speed data
converter EVMs or JESD204C_B 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
Software product folder (
http://www.ti.com/tool/DATACONVERTERPRO-SW), allows 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 are
added. After running the patch, open HSDC Pro and the new parts and modes appear in
the ADC and DAC device drop-down selection box. The patch is always specific to a
core GUI version and do not work for a GUI version for which the patch was not
explicitly created.
