Figure 1. MAX6946 EV Kit Software Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The MAX6946 EV kit software automatically searches
for the CMAXQUSB interface board and MAX6946 EV
kit during startup. The Status indicator shows if the
interface board and the MAX6946 EV kit are opera-
tional. If the interface board is not found, verify that the
command module and the USB cable are connected
properly, power is applied to the EV kit, and select the
YES button on the retry-connection message box.
The nonfunctional GUI can be viewed by selecting the
NO button on the retry-connection message box when
attempting to start the software without the CMAXQUSB
interface board being connected. Restart the software
with the interface board and EV kit properly connected
for normal operation.
