GUI Operation

To operate the GUI, follow these steps:

  1. Connect to and launch the GUI as described in Section 4.2.1.3.1.
  2. With the EVM connected to the GUI, close the README.md file page. The text near the bottom-left hand corner of the GUI should read Hardware Connected (see Figure 4-6).

    1. If Hardware Connected does not show in the bottom-left hand corner of the GUI, check different hardware COM ports under Options >> Serial Port (see Figure 4-7).

    2. If the hardware still does not connect, make sure you are using the correct GUI/EVM combination.
  3. Click the Registers icon shown in Figure 4-8 (also available on the left side menu) to view the register map, and change device settings, and enable automatic register read. For questions about a register or register bit field, select the GUID-673E95AB-D678-4CD0-AD5C-40EC8E3BBF9E-low.png icon. For more questions about registers, check the data sheet.
