SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The evaluation kit includes software is available to download
from the evaluation board page on Analog Devices website.
Click the setup.exe file to run the install. The default location
for the software is C:\Program Files (x86)\Analog

to ensure that the evaluation system is correctly recognized when
connected to the PC.
There are two parts of the software installation process:
• AD7961 evaluation board software installation

THERE ARE 3 OPTIONS FOR USING AN EXTERNAL REFERENCE:

1) EXTERNALLY BUFFERED REFERENCE SOURCE OF 5V APPLIED TO THE REF PIN.
2)EXTERNALLY BUFFERED REFERENCE SOURCE OF 4.096V APPLIED TO THE REF PIN.
3)EXTERNAL REFERENCE OF 2.048V APPLIED TO THE REFIN PIN (HIGH IMPEDANCE INPUT). THE ON-CHIP BUFFER GAINS THIS BY 2 AND DRIVES THE REF PIN WITH 4.096V.
