ADS1256: ADS1256

Hi Ahmed Shaaban,

The ADCPro software was not designed to work on Win8 or higher, so there is some chance this won't work on your new machine either way. I run Win10 and I have been able to get ADCPro to work however, though not in all cases. Do you have a different computer running Win7 or older by any chance?

Since this issue is likely with the MMB0 drivers, I will see if I can recover these files. This at least gives you something else to try.

Let me look into this and get back to you

Hi Ahmed Shaaban,

First, check if the MMB0 drivers are installed in the folder at "C:\Program Files (x86)\ADCPro\drivers"

Then, open device manager and connect the MMB0 to your PC without running ADCPro. You should see the following:

Next, run ADCPro and the ADS1256 plugin. The device in the previous image ("MMB0 (NI-VISA)") should change to the following:

If you do not see this change, you will need to find the "unknown device" and manually install the USBstyx driver. This can be accomplished by following the FAQ for the PAMB board: https://e2e.ti.com/support/data-converters-group/data-converters/f/data-converters-forum/914940/faq-how-do-i-resolve-pamb-evm-connectivity-and-or-driver-installation-issues/3380582?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=pamb%252520driver#3380582

When you reach step #8 in that process, point to the USBstyx driver at the following location: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ADCPro\drivers\USBStyx\usbstyx.inf ". Finish the remaining steps as described in that FAQ

Let me know if this helps

Hi Bryan

than you for answer .
after loading the ads1256 plugin the device disconnect   as I was removed the usb cable. No unknown device appear in the windows device manager .
I have record this vedeo to help you see the messages .

Hi Ahmed Shaaban,

Thanks for sending the video

It was not clear to me when you opened up ADCPro however, as the tool was already running when the video started. Did you follow the instructions as I described? You should have plugged in the MMB0 board without running ADCPro.

I did see that the device showed up at some point as "MMB0 (NI-VISA)". However, when you opened up ADCPro and selected the ADS1256 plugin, did that change to the USBstyx driver? I did not see what happened in device manager after you ran the plugin.

When you plugged in the MMB0 without ADCPro running, you should see a device called "MMB0 (NI-VISA)"

Yes , I see MMBO without ADCPro  and after  starting ADCPro . It disappear after the loading ADS1256EVM plugin .
it looks that the MMBO is trying to reboot  or loading firmware but it Halt . and the 7segment is showin this photo .

at this point the PC device manager has no sign about the MMBO >

Are you able to see this driver ("USBstyx") appear in Device Manager after running ADCPro and selecting the ADS1256 plugin?

NO

Bryan Lizon86 said:

You might also try uninstalling ADCPro and the plugin, then reinstalling. Make sure the MMB0 is not plugged in during the uninstall / reinstallation process

I reinstalled the  ADCpro over fresh window copy and I am still gettign the same result .

Hi Bryan 

Yes this exactly what I see .
Most propabley I purchase one complete evm kit and several daughter modules as I understand that the MMB0 is common and work for all ADSa2xx evm.
As I used to evaluate your products for my customers and some times to educate my self.



as you can se the MMB0 is marked REV C . 


this the lable on the box that I keep all the module in .
thank you
