Figure 4-9 - Clicking the Configure button opens a popup to connect the machine to a programmer. This list is filtered to only support TI Programmers and does not support custom boards. (1) Click the desired programmer if multiple are connected. This choice is remembered for the next configure as well. (2) Click connect and the communication starts.

Figure 4-10 - Clicking the Additional Settings button opens a popup to allow the user to switch ports, enable permanent configuration, and select where the power after configuring comes from. The choices made in this window are remembered for the next time the user clicks Configure. Clicking OK starts communication between programmer and machine.

Figure 4-11 - Clicking the Purchase button opens a form for the user to fill out. Information for the acknowledgment section can be found in the question mark that appears when the cursor hovers over the text. Once the form has been adequately completed, clicking OK opens a browser window informing the user the request has been submitted.
