3.3 Connecting EVM to GUI

Now, that the EVM hardware setup and GUI installation is complete, the EVM can now be connected to the GUI. The following steps outline how to connect the EVM to GUI:

  • With the EVM connected to the PC, open the GUI. The home page or landing page of the GUI is shown in Figure 4-2.

  • Program EVM with latest software by clicking on File -> Program Device (See )Figure 4-3. This needs to be done the first time the user sets up the EVM, as a software update can have been released since the EVM was initially programmed.
