I recently bought an ADS1198ECGFE-PDK board (ADS1x98ECG FE Rev C – PWB Rev C and BOM Rev D; MMB0 Rev D) and I am having some issues with establishing communication to the board. I followed the user guide (Revised January 2016) setup steps:
- Verify the jumpers on the ADS1298ECG-FE are as shown in Figure 2 (note that these settings are the factory-configured settings for the board).
I verified the jumpers matched Figure 2 (see picture below).
- Verify that the jumpers on the MMB0 motherboard are configured as shown below:
- MMB0 J13A -> Open
- MMB0 13B -> Open
- Refer to Section B.2 for details about the MMB0 power supply
I interpreted “Open” to mean remove the jumpers on MMB0 J13A and J13B. Jumpers were attached to those locations out of the box so I removed them.
- Install the ADS1298ECG-FE software using the latest software version. The latest software can be downloaded from the ADS1298ECG-FE product page or ADS1198ECG-FE product page. Double click the installer and follow the instruction to complete the software installation. For detailed installation information and screenshots, see Appendix C.
I installed ads1198ecg-fe-setup-1.1.1 from the Texas Instruments website on my desktop computer (Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit, Intel i5). The installation did not appear to have any issues. I plugged in the eval board and I did not get any new device detection pop-ups. Here is how it appeared in Device Manager:

I started up the ADS1198 software and got the following messages:

The libusb0.dll was in the C:/Windows/System32 folder but not in the C:/Windows/SysWOW64 folder. I copy-pasted the libusb0.dll to the 64-bit folder. This caused the libusb0.dll message to stop but the missing subVI messages stayed. In both cases, I got the same “Connection Failure” main screen.
What is recommended to troubleshoot these issues?
