ADS7961: ADCPro Timeout

Arash Sabet-Payman

Part Number: ADS7961
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , ADCPRO

Hello,

I am trying to use the ADS7961EVM-PDK with ADCPro. I downloaded ADCPro and the ADS7961 Plug-in. When I connect the ADS7961 the messages read "No firmware found...downloading -> Download failed..reset the hardware." I have found similar posts about this, and have followed those instructions, but it still doesn't work. I believe I have installed all drivers necessary, but I cannot get this to work.

Is there a good step by step to get everything installed properly outside of the ones shown on the user guides?

I am using Windows 10.

Best,

Arash

Arash,

Just to make sure, this is the best post I could find on the signed drivers issue. I just want to know that it lines up with what you've seen and tried.

If you have LabVIEW on your computer already, here's another post, on downloading ADCPro and the plugin again, and updating the NI-VISA driver:

Hello,

I read through that and it is similar to what I have tried. What is the MMB0 driver that I need to install first?

Best,

Arash,

A colleague pointed me to a newer post that he thinks is a bit more complete. It's for a different board, but it should be the same setup.

The board should enumerate as an NI-VISA device when plugged in (If this doesn't happen, you'll need the NI-VISA driver). When you run ADCPro it should download the firmware. At that point in device manager, the board should disconnect and reenumerate as a USBStyx device. If this doesn't happen, then you'll need the libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0 driver.

Regardless, read through the post, try it out, and let me know.
