If the FT4232 controller is not connected to the PC when the software is launched, then the GUI defaults to demo mode. Figure 4-4 illustrates the bottom-left corner of the GUI that shows the hardware connection status: DEMO MODE or CONNECTED. After the FT4232 controller is properly connected to the PC, deselect the Demo Mode check box in the upper right corner to connect to the EVM.
