Procedure
1)
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
Visit
http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/
design/tools/applications/evkit-software/
to
download the latest version of the EV kit software,
MAX31875EVKitSetupV1.0.zip. Save the EV kit
software to a temporary folder and uncompress the
ZIP file.
Connect the MAX31875PMB1 board to the USB-
2PMB2 board.
Connect the USB cable from the PC to the USB-
2PMB2 board. Windows may require some time to
install its device driver.
Open the EV kit GUI, MAX31875EVKit.exe and
select
Device→MAX31875PMB
option
(or
MAX31875PMB).
Click the
Scan Adapters
button, then click the
Connect
button. See
Figure 1.

General Description of Software
The main window of the MAX31875 EV kit software
contains controls to evaluate the MAX31875 temperature
sensor.
The
Attached Device Search
scans the I
2
C bus for
supported devices. The software GUI supports all eight
varieties of the MAX31875, which differ only in the I
2
C
slave device address.
Along the right side of the window, there are drop-down
boxes for each of the fields of the configuration register.
Additionally, the raw register values can be read and writ-
ten by the
Temperature, Configuration, THyst,
and
TOS
controls in the upper right corner of the window.
Sample rate is determined by the
0x006 Conversion
Rate[1:0]
drop-down box. Click
Sample Continuously
to read temperature register and plot on graph at the con-
figured sample rate.
The
One-Shot Read
button triggers a single temperature
reading. The MAX31875 must be in Shutdown mode to
enable One-Shot Read.
USB2PMB Adapter
The controls within the

groupbox allow the user to select the appropriate
USB2PMB devices. When
Scan Adapters
button is
pressed, it updates the drop-down list with all USB2PMB
devices. With the EV kit connected to the PC, either
PMOD031875
or a similar serial number appears within
the drop-down list. Make the appropriate selection respec-
tive of the IC and press the
Connect
button.
