The driver is installed after the EVB software is installed. Click Install to run the driver installation. Clicking Cancel
will not install any files, and the EVB will not work with the software.
Note: If the driver has already been installed on the computer before, it will not be reinstalled, and a message box will appear
The installer will copy the necessary driver files and update the operating system. However, for every different EVB
connected to the same computer, the hardware installation wizard will run to associate this driver with the new
EVB. Let the wizard run with its default settings. Figure 6 shows a successful driver installation.

as shown in Figure 5.
Program
This automatically programs the necessary registers based on the customer's
desired frequency plan for the Si5356 device.
This utility provides access to each bit field in the register map of the device; no
masking and shifting is required to decode each setting or control in the register
map.
This provides low-level control of the device with individual 8-bit register accesses.
