3.2.1 Launching the Software

If installed in the default directory, launch the AFE20408EVM software by searching for "AFE20408EVM" in the Windows®Start menu.

Figure 4-3 shows the initial configuration menu that is present when the GUI is launched. From this menu, select the interface protocol, as well as the I2C address, if desired. Select the CONFIG button to save the current settings and launch the main GUI.

If the FTDI controller is not connected to the PC when the software is launched, then the GUI defaults to demo mode. Figure 4-5 illustrates the bottom-left corner of the GUI that shows the hardware connection status: DEMO MODE or CONNECTED. After the FTDI controller is properly connected to the PC, restart the AFE20408EVM software to detect the device.
