Seismic Evaluation Software Installation

Important: For reliable USB communication, the USBXpress driver must be installed after the Seismic
Evaluation Software installation but before launching the application. The USBXpress driver files are in-
cluded in a sub-folder as part of the installation.

To install the Cirrus Logic Seismic Evaluation Software:

• Go to the Cirrus Logic Industrial Software web page (

http://www.cirrus.com/industrialsoftware

). Click

the link for “Cirrus Seismic Evaluation GUI” to get to the download page and then click the link for “Cir-
rus Seismic Evaluation GUI Release Vxx”
(xx indicates the version number).

• Read the software license terms and click “Accept” to download the “SeismicEvalGUI_vxx.zip” file to

any directory on the PC.

• Unzip the downloaded file to any directory and a “Distribution\Volume1” sub-folder containing the in-

stallation application will automatically be created.

• Open the “Volume1” sub-folder and run “setup.exe”. If the Seismic Evaluation Software has been pre-

viously installed, the uninstall wizard will automatically remove the previous version and you will need
to run “setup.exe” again.

• Follow the instructions presented by the Cirrus Seismic Evaluation Installation Wizard. The default in-

stallation location is “C:\Program Files\Cirrus Seismic Evaluation”.

An application note, AN271 - Cirrus Seismic Evaluation GUI Installation Guide, is available from the Cirrus
Logic web site with step-by-step instructions on installing the Seismic Evaluation Software.
