SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
DEVICE SELECTION
The ADT7x20 evaluation kit includes the evaluation software
on a CD-ROM. The software is compatible with Windows®
2000/XP, Vista, and Windows 7. The evaluation software must
be installed before connecting the evaluation board to the USB
port of the PC to ensure that Windows recognizes it and to
ensure that the driver is installed correctly. To install the
software, run the ADT7x20 Evaluation Software Install.exe
file from the CD-ROM.
When the evaluation software is launched, a window appears
prompting you to select the desired device, as shown in Figure 5.
After the installation has completed, connect the ADT7x20
evaluation board to the PC USB port using the cable supplied.
When the evaluation board is detected by the operating system,
proceed through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize the
installation.

The ADT7320 uses the SPI interface whereas the ADT7420 uses
the I2C. Other than the control interface, the two devices are
identical in performance.
USING THE ADT7x20 EVALUATION SOFTWARE
During installation, a shortcut to the evaluation software
is installed in the Start menu. From the Start menu, select
All Programs, then Analog Devices, and click ADT7x20
Evaluation Software. You can launch the software using either
this shortcut or by running the ADT7x20 Evaluation
Software.exe file from the installation directory.
BOARD SELECTION
The device selected at the previous step in the Device Selection
section can be located either on the main board or on the
external board.
After the desired device is selected, a window appears
prompting you to select the location of the device (see Figure 6).
