Title Bar :
The title bar will display the Series Number of the DSM board connected to the computer. The Series Number is an unique identifier that is burned into the DSM's firmware. Each board has its own Series Number. If no boards are connected or if there is something wrong with the firmware, the GUI application will display the "No Modules Found" message on the title bar.

Waveform Directory is the location where you want the waveform files to be saved to. The ".\"
represents the root directory of the program which you specified during installation. The default is C:\Program Files\Euvis
Memory Dump Directory is the location where you want the memory dump to be saved to.
Function Console Response enables or disables the Function console. The Function console displays all user commands
that are sent to the board.
PHY Console Response enables or disables the PHY console. The PHY console displays all information that the
application receives from the DSM board.
Memory Dump enables or disables memory dumping. When memory dumping is enabled, the application will dump all
data sent to the board in a .dat file located in the Memory Dump Directory which is specified above.
Data Length Offset should be set to "192" at 2.5 Ghz. This option is only needed when Data Length Enabled
is checked in the Waveform window. This parameter is to eliminate some of the latencies in the CPU when running waveforms and thus
stablizes waveforms.
