3.3 GUI Overview

The ULC1001 GUI is designed to assist with setting up the ULC1001 registers for the best cleaning and algorithm performance. Opening the GUI window on a Windows based PC is shown in Figure 4-8. A faulty USB2ANY interface connection flags an Interface not initialized error message. The GUI allows users to monitor communication status, load and save configuration files, record register reads/writes from/to the ULC1001-DRV2911 EVM, monitor ULC1001-DRV2911 EVM faults, easily calibrate the ULC1001-DRV2911 EVM, and fine tune cleaning performance. The GUI keeps ULC1001 in the Software Shutdown state, PWR_CTL = 0x10, and automatically initializes and runs the system when the mode buttons are pressed in the GUI interface. The following subsections detail the GUI components and the previously mentioned use cases.
