5.1 Verifying Target Connection

Upon launching the Signal Sight GUI, a modal appears providing instructions on connecting to the target MCU device. Depending on the debug environment and if the tool has been used before, various different messages can be shown.

CCS Environment Figure 5-2 CCS Environment

When debugging within the CCS environment, a modal describing the steps to connect to the target are shown. Follow the steps and click Connect to establish the connection with the target device.

Standalone GUI Environment Figure 5-3 Standalone GUI Environment

When using the Signal Sight GUI in a standalone environment, the hash file generated by the SysConfig tool needs to be provided externally. To do this, select the IMPORT .JSON FILE button and navigate through the file explorer. Import the desired .json file. Once imported, the GUI issues a connection request to the connected MCU device. Once connected, the modal dismisses.

Restore Previous Session Figure 5-4 Restore Previous Session

On subsequent uses of the tool, the modal prompts the user to continue with a previous Signal Sight session. If continuing a previous session, then click the CONTINUE PREVIOUS SESSION button loads the previously used hash table and attempt to connect to the device. If wanting to debug with a new project, then click the IMPORT .JSON FILE prompts the user to import a hash table file and connect to the target MCU.

Signal Sight Interface Figure 5-5 Signal Sight Interface

When the Signal Sight tool successfully connects to the target MCU, the oscilloscope interface is exposed. The first four streaming variables from the hash table are automatically populated onto the drop-down menus of Channels 1-4. The streaming variables are also displayed on the plot axes on the graph.
