is from an unknown publisher. This is not an error
condition and it is safe to proceed with installation.
Administrator privileges are required to install the
USB device driver on Windows.
3)
Verify that the jumpers on the EV kit board are in
their default positions, as shown in Table 1. The
jumper locations are shown in Figure 1.
Set the signal source to generate a 1kHz, 2.0V peak-
to-peak sinusoidal wave with 0V offset.
Connect the positive terminal of the signal generator
to the AINAP terminal block connector. Connect
the negative terminal of the signal generator to the
AINAN terminal block connector.
Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV kit
board. Follow the instructions on the SLS_USB_
Driver_Help_200.PDF file to manually install the USB
driver. Administrator privileges are required to install
the USB device driver on Windows.
Enable the function generator.
Start the EV kit software by opening its icon in the
Windows
All Programs
menu. The EV kit software
main window appears, as shown in Figure 2.
The main window should display

button.
14) Verify that the waveform displayed in the GUI FFT
graph is approximately 1000Hz, as shown in Figure
3.
