3.2.1.2.1 Using Code Composer Studio IDE

  1. Open or create a workspace.
  2. Import the application project by selecting Menu → Project → Import CCS Projects, and then select the following path: <USS Flow Meter Library folder>\examples\USSLib_GUI_Demo\CCS\ (see Figure 4-13).
    GUID-CEFBCB5B-35F6-4E6A-8BBB-741FB96CEF3C-low.pngFigure 4-13 Import Project to CCS
  3. Build the project (Ctrl+B).
  4. Download the code to the device (F11).
  5. Close the debugger. It is also possible to execute or debug the application, but this design guide only shows the standalone execution.
