4.2 Launching the Software

After installation, a shortcut to launch the GUI can be found in the Start menu. If installed in the default directory, the AFE881H1EVM software can also be launched by navigating to the Texas Instruments folder in the Program Files (x86) directory, as Figure 4-2 shows.

Figure 4-3 shows the GUI after launch. If the USB2ANY controller is not connected to the PC when the software is launched, the GUI defaults to demo mode. Figure 4-4 illustrates the bottom-left corner of the GUI showing the hardware connection status: DEMO MODE or CONNECTED. After the USB2ANY controller is properly connected to the PC, close and reopen the AFE881H1EVM software to detect the device.
