3.2.1 Launching the Software

Launch the AFE10004EVM software by searching for AFE10004EVM GUI in the Windows® Start menu.

When the GUI is launched, the AFE10004 SPI OR I2C menu, shown in Figure 3-3, appears. Choose between SPI and I2C and click CONFIRM.

Figure 3-4 shows the GUI after launch. If the FTDI controller is not connected to the PC when the software is launched, the GUI defaults to demo mode. The bottom-left corner of the GUI shows the hardware connection status, DEMO MODE or CONNECTED, as shown in Figure 3-5. After the FTDI controller is properly connected to the PC, uncheck the Demo Mode box in the upper right to initialize the GUI.

After you uncheck the Demo Mode box, the Interface Configuration menu pops up. Figure 3-6 shows the two possible menus. The menu depends on the SPI OR I2C selection. The interface menus configure the SPI or I2C speed and I2C device address.
