    3 OPT3004DTSEVM Hardware Figure 3-1 shows the system setup for the OPT3004DTSEVM. The computer runs the graphical user interface (GUI) software that communicates with the OPTMBEVM board over a USB connection. The OPTMBEVM has a USB Type C port and ships with a USB-C to USB-A cable. The OPTMBEVM board acts as a bridge between the software running on the PC and the OPT3004DTS coupon board.
