4.3.1 Step-by-step Instructions for Setting up the Hardware

1. Make sure the "GUI_EVM_VAPS_REV1.0" program is installed on the PC and can communicate with the

KITVALVECNTLEVM. If the GUI_EVM_VAPS_REV1.0 software is not installed on the PC, run the Setup.exe program located

on the VAPS Training package (included in the USB key provided with the kit). Follow the on-screen instructions to install

GUI_EVM_VAPS_REV1.0 on the PC.

2. Attach a +12 VDC power supply (do not turn power on yet) to the VPWR connector on the KITVALVECNTLEVM board. Make

sure the negative power supply terminal is connected to the screw terminal labeled "GND" and the positive power supply

terminal is connected to the screw terminal labeled "VPWR".

3. Attach a +5 VDC power supply (do not turn power on yet) to the VCC5 connector on the KITVALVECNTLEVM board. Make

sure the negative power supply terminal is connected to the screw terminal labeled "GND" and the positive power supply

terminal is connected to the screw terminal labeled "VCC5".

4. Turn on the +12 VDC power supply. Then turn on the +5 VDC power supply.

5. Connect the USB to FTDI cable with the USB plug connected to the computer and the FTDI plug to the board as shown in
