RF signal generator Baseband IQ signal generator RF spectrum analyzer Oscilloscope (for generic signal viewing if desired) 3.3 Basic Connections Connect EV9730 to C-BUS1 port on PE0003. Apply +5V to PE0003 and EV9730. 2015 CML Microsystems PLC 1 of 6 QS/EV9730/1 Evaluation Board Quick Start EV9730 At this point the boards should look like this: Figure 1: EV9730 and PE0003 3.4 PE0003 Installation The EV9730 can be controlled with either the PE0003 PC Interface Card or its predecessor, the PE0002. The unzipped EV9730 Evaluation Software package includes software to allow the use of either PC interface card. A Readme.txt file indicates which file to use with which PC interface card. The following steps will install the PE0003 on your PC: Connect PE0003 to PC with USB cable. The PC will ask for a USB driver the first time a PE0003 is connected. When prompted, load the USB driver from the unzipped PE0003 Driver package. Your PC may attempt to useWindows Updat to find the PE0003 USB driver. Cancel theWindows Updat search. On your PC clickStar button, right click onCompute and selectPropertie. SelectDevice Manage. Right clickPE0003 Evaluation Ki and chooseUpdate driver softwar. ChooseBrowse my compute and locate the PE0003 driver you downloaded earlier. ClickInstall anywa if you get a driver warning message. 3.5 EV9730 Graphical User Interface The EV9730 graphical user interface (GUI), named ES9730xx.exe, is available in the unzipped software package that corresponds with PE0003. Double-click the executable file and you will be presented with this window: Figure 2: EV9730 GUI Opening Screen 2015 CML Microsystems PLC 2 of 6 QS/EV9730/1
