10.2 MEASURE WINDOW DESCRIPTION
This menu allows the user to control the different switches/selectors and to start measurements.
Figure 10-5 EM8500 DevExplorer measure window description) describes these selections.
The “Configure mode” and the “Application mode” (described in the paragraph 5) can be selected through the
selector called “Mode selector” in the Figure 10-5 EM8500 DevExplorer measure window description.
In Configure mode, the user is able to:
Ɩ
Use the Configure window to configure and access the EM8500 device
Ɩ
Control the HRV, STS and LTS switches (for hardware security reason some sequences are automatically
managed or controlled by the tool)

C or SPI).
Ɩ

Ɩ
