Analog Devices LTC6952Wizard Installation Instructions
=========================================================


Description
-----------

The Analog Devices LTC6952Wizard is used to communicate with the
LTC6952 and LTC6953.  It uses a DC590 or Linduino to translate
between USB and SPI-compatible serial communications formats.

It also includes advanced PLL design and simulation capabilities.  You
may use it to:

	- Recommend part parameters based on your frequency plan
	- Design noise-optimized loop filters
	- Simulate loop frequency response and stability
	- Simulate VCO and Reference source noise
	- Simulate output noise characterisics and statistics
	- Simulate time-domain output waveforms

Refer to the included ELA.rtf for important usage information.


System Requirements
-------------------

- Windows Operating System: Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista,
  Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10
- Microsoft .NET 4.0 or later
- Windows Installer 3.1 or later
- Linear Technology's DC590 Demo Board or Linduino


Detailed Installation Instructions.  Please Read!!!
---------------------------------------------------


1) DC590 or Linduino**

You must possess either a DC590 or Linduino (DC2026) board, available from
www.analog.com, to communicate with the Demo Board.  But, LTC6952Wizard
WILL operate with "Communication Disabled" without a DC590 or Linduino.

** If using a Linduino, note that it MUST be used in "DC590 emulator
   mode".


2) Microsoft .NET

You must have Microsoft .NET 4.0 or later installed on your computer.
LTC6952Wizard will not run without it.  Note that Microsoft Windows Vista
and later (Win 7, Win 8, etc.) have at least version 3.5 preinstalled. 

To manually determine your version of .NET using Windows XP, click

	Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs

	or

	Start Menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs

The LTC6952Wizard setup program will automatically install Microsoft
.NET from Microsoft's website if a compatible .NET version is NOT FOUND.


3) Run LTC6952Wizard Setup File

Run "LTC6952Wizard_Setup" or to verify/install Microsoft .NET and the
LTC6952Wizard.  The setup program will create an sub-menu in your
Program Files menu.  Click

   Analog Devices LTC6952Wizard -> LTC6952Wizard

to run the software.

Refer to the Help menu for software operation.  Refer to the appropriate
Demo Circuit Quick Start Guide for hardware connection instructions.


INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Symptom:  Unable to install.  A popup states “Another version of this
          product is already installed….”

Solution: You have a previous version of the application already in-
          stalled which the installer could not remove.  Uninstall by
          selecting “Uninstall LTC6952Wizard” in the Linear Technology
          program group.  Or, uninstall by using Add/Remove Programs
          in the Windows Control Panel.


Symptom:  Installation finishes but the LTC6952Wizard application exits with
          an error.

Solution: Microsoft .NET 4.0 or later is not installed.  This can be
          caused by a .NET installation error, or by executing LTC6952Wizard
          setup without Administrator privileges.  Ensure .NET 4.0 or
          later is installed and/or run LTC6952Wizard_Setup with
          Administrator privileges.


Symptom:  A popup states "DC590 drivers not found. Attach DC590 to complete
          driver installation. Re-Install LTC6952Wizard if still not suc-
          cessful."

Solution: The USB driver installation either did not complete, or is
          corrupted.  A DC590 or Linduino must be connected to a USB port
          after the setup completes to finish USB driver installation.  The
          application may still be used even if the drivers are not
          installed, but no demo board communication will be possible.
