The Power Profiler Kit (PPK) must be configured correctly, connected to your computer, and powered before
the desktop application can be started.
To start the PPK desktop application, do the following:
1.
Navigate to the directory where you have installed your PPK software package.
2.
Double-click the file
ppk.py
. If prompted for details, choose to run the file with Python.
The PPK desktop application can also be started from the command line console. Make sure to navigate to
the correct directory and run the following command:
python.exe ppk.py
The PPK desktop application opens up. Two separate windows are displayed:
• The
Settings
window to the left with configuration and measurement controls, options, and settings
• The
Plots
window to the right with current measurement plots displaying average and trigger values
