REB233-XPRO User Guide [USER GUIDE]

6

Restart Atmel Studio, allow help to make changes and the Performance Analyzer GUI is available in the

Tools menu.

3. If not already preprogrammed - program the node with the Performance Analyzer FW available in the

"Wireless Performance Analyzer Firmware extension" or from source code provided in ASF.

If using an Wireless board with a μC embedded, the Performance Analyzer FW has to be programmed

using the Bootloader or JTAGICE.

If using a extension board which do not have a μC embedded, the Performance Analyzer FW has to be

programmed on the Xplained Pro board using the EBDG from Atmel Studio.
