3.3 Config and Connect
3.3.1 Overview
If a suitable default config file is found the message window will instruct the user to proceed with
establishing a connection between the software and the hardware.
Note that when a config file is loaded, many of the GUI controls will be populated by the values stored in
the config file. For example, the date and time the config file is created is displayed (above the “Config
Load” button).
To proceed, the connection procedure requires the user to hit the “Connect” button on the Config tab.
During connection attempt, the message window will display “Connecting. Please wait.” If the
connection is successful, the message window will show “Connection successful. Please Zero.” Or it will
say “Could not connect!” followed by a likely explanation of what caused the failure to connect and how
to remedy it. If the connection is successful, the “Connect” button will turn to grey and disabled state to
prevent the user from making a duplicate connection. Similarly, the “Config Load” button also gets
disabled, however the “Start” button is enabled.
