The device can also be connected to a computer via the Azoteq CT210A and the data streamed.
The difference between the module boards will become clear when visualised on a computer.
4.1 Setup for data streaming on computer

board and various module boards:
•
CT210A (Available from Azoteq)
•
Ribbon cable (Comes with the CT210A)
•
Micro USB cable to connect CT210A to a computer

•
Connect the base board to the CT210A
•
Insert a module board onto the main board
•
Make sure the slide switch is in the OFF position, the board will run on power from the

4.2 Using the GUI with the IQS227B IC
When all of this is done correctly, your screen should look like in Figure 4.2. A small popup Hints &
Tips window also appears which must be read and closed. The important parts to get started with
the GUI are also circled. (We use IQS227 GUI Version 1.0.1.26 in this document and we also
encourage customers to use the latest versions available.)
