Software .xml file for DAC8832

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DXP, DAC8832

Team,

I'm trying to use the DAC8832EVM with the MMB0 motherboard and DXP software. When running the downloader (and having firewalls turned off), the software gives me an error saying it cannot download the XML file from the FTP directory, despite the 'light' being green.

Can someone please provide the XML file for the DAC8832?

Thanks,

--Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Find the file you need attached. You need to place this file in My Documents/DXP/Devices. Then it should show within DXP.

Eugenio,

EDIT: The xml file provided has no content. Am I downloading this improperly?

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, the XML file isn't working for me. I installed it as suggested, ran DXP as administrator, and get the following error:

Error -2628
Invoke Node in NI_XML.lvlib:Load XML File.vi->XML_DACImport.vi->DXP_Main.vi
State - DeviceScan

Judging from the error, it's not finding the (correct?) device. I unplugged the USB-B cable and re-plugged it, soft reset and hard reset the device, and haven't been able pass the startup screen of DXP. The driver recognizes the connection as with MMB0. I'm using BOM revision 2 of the EVM. Why is it giving me this error?

Thanks,

Aaron Jones

Hi Aaron,

I've found a page that lists some promising code. I typed it up into a new XML file (attached) for you to download. Try that and let me know how it goes.
