If the SDM-USB-DIG has a faulty connection, or is not connected at all, the GUI launches in simulation
mode. In simulation mode,

is displayed in the top right area of the GUI. If
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 AMC7834EVM
software may need to be reinstalled.
