This approach is documented in the AE_09_A2B_SigmaStudio_UserGuide within the ADI_A2B_Software-Rel19.11.1 installation folder.

Good morning,
I have a problem when I try to generate the XML file to use during the discovery of A2B network to configure the peripheral of eval board. When I click on Generate XML, SigmaStudio open the file correctly but an error message show up with the following text:
"Auto update is not supported.
Input string was not in a correct format."
I tried to create a new project with few blocks but it didn't work.
With SigmaStudio 4.6 the XML Generate works correctly. How can I solve this issue with SigmaStudio 4.7?
Thanks in advanced,
Stefano

Hi StevenNob

Please install SigmaStudio 4.7 along with the corresponding A2B plug‑in version 19.11.1.
After installing, follow the Quick Start document to install the required DLL file. You can find the document in the folder:
C:\Analog Devices\ADI_A2B_Software-Rel19.11.1\Docs

Once the installation is complete, restart SigmaStudio and your PC.
After that, try again and check whether the same error message appears.

Following the documentation I took another approach to generate the XML so, I performed the following steps:

Link-Compile-Download

Copy the Capture Window into the Sequence Window

Export the Sequence Window as XML.

I attach an image from the document AE_09_A2B_SigmaStudio_UserGuide inside the installation folder of ADI_A2B_Software-Rel19.11.1.

In this way I was able to generate the XML file to program the peripheral during the A2B discovering.
The question can be closed, thanks!
