HMC769 Evaluation Software

Thread Summary

The user is trying to run the HMC PLL VCO Evaluation Software V3280 without hardware to configure the HMC769 PLL and export register settings. The software was initially installed but complained about no hardware being connected. The support engineer provided steps to run the software without hardware, but the user encountered the same issue on both Windows 7 and Windows 10, suggesting a missing Hittite USB Communications software component. The support engineer confirmed the software works on both OS versions and suggested opening it directly from the installation directory, but the issue persists.

Hello,

I am trying to get started writing some firmware to configure the HMC769 PLL.

Being familiar with the other ADI PLL evaluation software, I want to just run the evaluation software without hardware attached, and get an idea of the required register settings to get a desired output frequency. That doesn't seem possible with the HMC PLL VCO Evaluation Software V3280 from here:

https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/evaluation-hardware-and-software/pll-vco-evaluation-software.html

I got it downloaded and installed, but it complains that no hardware is connected.

Is there a way to export the required register settings to get an expected PLL output frequency?

Please advise.

Thanks for your time.
