The mini-CD delivered with the EK3LV02DL contains also a lite version of the previous GUI
together with its source code. The source code can be found in the directory:
($Home)\STM\EK3LV02DL\EK3LVDL_lite
where ($Home) represents the directory in which the SW delivered with the evaluation kit
has been installed (C:\Program Files by default).
The intention is to provide to the user a guidance to the development of his/her own
customized application.
The evaluation kit is started by launching the executable EK3LV02DL Lite which is contained
in the EK3LV02DQ > Executables folder.
The graphical aspect of the GUI associated to the application is shown in Figure 22.

1. Connect the EK3LV02DL to the USB port
2. Start the GUI for EK3LV02DL Lite;
3. Select the Virtual COM port and then click on the “Connect” button;
4. Optionally select the destination file in which the acceleration data must be saved by
clicking onto “Setup” and “Destination File” buttons;
5. Click on “Plot Data” to activate the corresponding Data Display window;
6. Click on “START” (”STOP”) button to activate (stop) the collection of data from the
sensor, their saving onto file and plotting on the screen.
7. To close the application click on Disconnect and then click on Exit.
The GUI allows also the Read/Write the registers embedded in the LIS3LV02DL device
mounted on the board and to perform a single read of the acceleration data measured by
sensor.
