3.8.1.3 04-launchGUI.py

A live view GUI window is launched when running the devInit.py script. This window allows data from the OPTEVM to be viewed on a graph in real time. The GUI is created in the launchGUI.py example script. When running devInit.py, the launchGUI.py script is automatically run. However, if the GUI window is closed, then the window can be re-launched by directly running the launchGUI.py script. To do this, select the launchGUI.py script and click Run>Buffer or press F5.
