Figure 2. The Basic Mode Screen
When running the software for the very first time it is
advisable to select the Basic screen as this will allow the
user to verify that the PC is communicating with the
evaluation board and vice versa. The Basic Screen is
shown in Figure 2. The user should click on the Get Soft-
ware Version button to establish if the communications are
working. If they are the user should see a message box
similar to that of Figure 3.
