The CMA3000 DEMO KIT supports digital CMA3000 series sensor, CMA3000-D01. The support
for analog CMA3000-A01 will be added later. The evaluation boards (SCA3000 PWBs) are
compatible with the SCA3000 DEMO KIT.
CMA3000 demo runs on Windows XP and 2000, it requires USB connection for data transfer.
Demo is powered from USB port. The current GUI software does not support Windows Vista. The
CMA3000 demo is based on the same USB hardware PCB as the SCA3000 DEMO KIT, also the
same driver can be used with all demo kits provided by VTI Technologies.

When using the CMA3000 DEMO KIT with GUI software:
•
The DEMO KIT should be connected to PC before the GUI software is started
•
Exit the GUI software before unplugging the DEMO KIT from PC
•
After GUI software is stopped, the DEMO KIT can be unplugged from PC (DEMO KIT uses
virtual serial port driver, so it can not be found as a USB device).
During software start up, the firewall may alert that the demo software wants a network access.
The demo software can be operated without the network access (granting the network access
won't change the software operation.)
