DAC38J82EVM: Problems with DAC3XJ8X GUI software -- ftd2xx.dll missing

Part Number: DAC38J82EVM

I have had problems running this software in simulator mode. First, when I launch the program, it can't find the file "ftd2xx.dll."   I can't find the file on my drive, so I choose the option "ignore."   The GUI subsequently launches, but it not fully functional.  If I go to the low level tab, I can't do the following:

  • Write out all the registers to a config file.
  • Load a config file
  • Change the values of an individual register.  The window "Register Description" is blank and does not give me the option to change individual fields in the register.

Thank you.

    Hi Robert

    The FTDI dll file is not included with the DAC38J82EVM GUI, but is included with the High Speed Data Converter Pro software installer. Since this software is usually required with any of our DAC or ADC EVMs we only include it with that package.

    The High Speed Data Converter Pro software can be obtained from the Download button on this web page:

    http://www.ti.com/tool/DATACONVERTERPRO-SW

    Please try disconnecting the DAC EVM USB cable and installing (or re-installing) the High Speed Data Converter Pro software (run the installer as Administrator if possible). Then try re-connecting the DAC EVM to the PC, that should enable the drivers to be installed and eliminate the error you are encountering.

    Best regards,
