7.1 Getting Started
This development board is designed to connect
to a PC running the WaveVision Software via a
USB interface.
Ensure the board is connected to the 12V power
supply (included with the package) and that the
switch on the rear panel is pushed to the “ON”
position. The Green LED on the rear panel
should be illuminated.
Connect the USB cable between the PC which
has WaveVision software installed and the
ADC08(D)XXXXDEV board. The USB port may
be found on the rear panel (Figure 5).
If this is the first time the board has been
connected to the PC, drivers may be required to
be installed (automatic) by the Operating System.
Follow the on-screen instructions and use the
recommended settings.
Start the WaveVision software. (Start -> All
Programs -> WaveVision -> WaveVision4)
The software may take several seconds to
initialize, but should display a welcome screen
similar to the Figure 6.
If the board is connected correctly, the following
popup box should appear (Figure 7) to indicate
that the board has been recognized and the
firmware for the FPGA is being downloaded over
the USB interface.

If the “Downloading firmware” box does not
appear automatically, click on the “Settings” pull-
down menu and then click Capture Settings
(Figure 8).
This will display the System Settings (Figure 9).
If the board has not been detected, click the Test
button under the Communication heading. This
forces the software to download the software to
the FPGA. If the communications fail, check that
the USB drivers are installed correctly. Then,
disconnect and re-connect the USB cable.
Finally, restart the WaveVision software.
