Do you have a development board?
- or do you only have the chip by itself...
The chip is widely used as a low cost logic analyzer, and clone boards of the Saleae can be had for cheap in China. (Usually with no ESD protection, fuses, etc.)
Cypress has an extensive development suite, and a lot of instructables and FAQ's, I suggest to try googling Cypress's EZ-USB® FX2LP™
But in short, if you want to do special stuff on a 8031/8051 microcontroller, you have to write and upload code yourself. It might be possible to load drivers on a PC, but you'll have to write a lot of special software for that to work correctly, if you start out with the logic board analyzer board. (it's a parallel interface, quite fast - so if you have an A/D converter + special software it should work, with an effort)
This micro has an USB 2.0 interface, and can load stuff from EEPROM - but you have to make it work, if you want it to work (differently from what's already working
)
Sigrok has some open stuff available, but I doubt a high speed A/D chip interface is easy to implement,

Good luck - you might be able to make a more elegant solution than the somewhat slow
