9) Adjust the voltage source output to 1.024V.
Connect the positive terminal to the MAX1366 EV
kit’s AIN+ pad. Connect the negative terminal to the
MAX1366 EV kit’s AIN- pad.
10) Connect the digital current meter positive terminal
to the J1 position 5 and negative terminal to the
AGND pad. Switch the meter to the DC milliamp
range.
11) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the CMAX-
QUSB board. Turn on all three power supplies and
the signal source. If you have previously installed
the CMAXQUSB device driver on this computer, go
to step 14.
12) A Building Driver Database window pops up in
addition to a New Hardware Found message. If
you don’t see a window that is similar to the one
described above after 30 seconds, remove the USB
cable from the CMAXQUSB and reconnect it.
Administrator privileges are required to install the
USB device driver on Windows 2000/XP. Refer to
the TROUBLESHOOTING_USB.PDF document
included with the software if you are experiencing
problems.
13) Follow the directions of the Add New Hardware
Wizard to install the USB device driver. Choose the
Search for the Best Driver for your Device option.
Specify the location of the device driver to be
C:\Program Files\MAX1366 (default installation
directory) using the Browse button.
14) Start the MAX1366 EV kit software by opening its
icon in the Start menu. The GUI window appears,
as shown in Figure 1.
15) Switch to the Voltage Measurement tab, as shown
in Figure 2. Wait one second or click the Collect
Sample button. Verify the following readings:
a) LED display on the EV kit should be approxi-
mately 10240.
b) Result Registers 1 & 2 Code reading on the
GUI should be approximately +10240.0000.
c) Voltage (mV) reading should be approximately
+1024.000000.
16) Fine-tune the voltage-signal source output within
±2V and verify that the LED display follows the
adjustment. Verify that the readings on the software
window follow the adjustment as well.
