be used to verify the functionality of components.
This chapter presents some basic functions of the Control Panel, illustrates its structure in block

/Tools/DE4_ControlPanel
” in the
DE4 System CD
. To execute the program, simply copy the whole folder to your host computer and
launch the control panel by double clicking the
DE4_ControlPanel.exe
.
Note. Please make sure Quartus II and USB-Blaster Driver are installed before launching DE4
Control Panel. In addition, before the DE4 control panel is launched it is imperative the fan is
installed on the Stratix IV GX device, to prevent excessive high temperature on the FPGA.
To activate the Control Panel, perform the following steps:
Make sure Quartus II is installed successfully on your PC.
Connect the supplied USB cable to the USB Blaster port and the supplied power cord to J4.
Turn the power switch ON.
Verify the connection on the USB blaster is available and not occupied or used between Quartus
and DE4.
Start the executable DE4_ControlPanel.exe on the host computer.
