this text appears while the SDM-USB-DIG device is connected, then unplug the SDM-USB-DIG and close
the GUI. Reconnect the SDM-USB-DIG, and ensure that the connectors are correctly aligned. After doing
those steps, verify the USB extender cable is properly connected to both the SDM-USB-DIG and PC, and
relaunch the GUI. This issue can also occur if the CDC driver is installed incorrectly. The AMC7832EVM
software may need to be reinstalled.
