13.3 Overview of the Designer GUI

When the designer GUI is open, it identifies the connected board by the ID in the firmware. Figure 13-2 shows the opened GUI. The Designer GUI provides various assistance to access the firmware codes indirectly. For the full set of the functions that the Designer GUI can provide, please refer to the user’s manual. In this application note, we focus on how to make monitoring, board re-configuring and re-tuning to show basic aspects on how to use the GUI in a typical power supply design evaluation on a bench test.
