Readme for Installing the Front Panel program for the LM10010
Welcome to the National Semiconductor Installation disk for the LM10010 Control Panel.

There are two steps to installing this program, installing the Front Panel program and installing the FTDI drivers.  To proceed:  (assume that CDROM drive is your D: drive)

Installing the Front Panel Program

It is best to accept the default installation location for the LM10010 Front Panel program because there is a .dll library that the program must locate at startup. If it is not possible to place the program in the default location, the location for the library may be changed on the Front Panel, but the location is not saved at shutdown, so it will need to be re-entered every time.
1) Run the Setup.exe program from the LM10010_Installer found in the CDROM. Respond to the prompts. When the Setup.exe program completes, the installation is complete.

Installing the FTDI drivers

This program uses the FTDI TM USB host adapter for communication with the target parts. Drivers for the FTDI Host adapter can be found on this CD ROM or at: http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm.
2) Plug the USB Host Adapter into a USB port on your PC. It is not necessary to connect the host adapter to the      evaluation board to complete this step.

3) When the "New Hardware Found" dialog opens, click the “cancel” button.

4) Run the CDM20060.exe file to install the FTDI Drivers. This file can be found at C:\Program Files\NSC\LM10010.

5) Connect the evaluation board to the USB host adapter.

6) You may now launch the LM10010 Interface.
The host adapter should be connected to the target part and power applied to the evaluation board before opening the Front Panel program. Start the front panel program using the START button on the bottom left corner of your desktop and select All Programs. Next, at the bottom of the program list find NSC, and under that, select LM10010_GUI. The front panel program should open and function.
