Running the ULE Node using the VAR application
Time to get the ULE node up and running with the VAR simulator. This simulator converses with the
UART Driver loaded in the DHAN module at an interface called the CMND API. The VAR simulates
your MCU’s communication with the CMND - so this is means to learn about this communication
pipe as well as grasp the overall connectivity scheme of ULE.

4.1 Hardware Setup
Power up the DHX91 ULE EVB. If you are using a Power Supply with metering, you should observe
~28mA. Now connect the EVB RS232 port to the PC USB port using the USB2UART Cable and
UART2UART adaptor provided in the Starter Kit. As before, query your Windows Device Manager
for the # of this added COM port!
4.2 Installing the VAR Simulator
Run the VarCmndSimulatorSetup.msi and follow instructions to generate the VarCmndSimulator.exe
file.
4.3 Running the VarCmndSimulator.exe
Run the VarCmndSimulator.exe file and choose the VAR Mode.
