The utility is composed of three main parts: a connection dialog, the control tabs, and a status
window.
8.4.1

The Connection Dialog

Allows the user to specify a Cyclone to connect with, as well as specify the connection options.
The utility will always automatically upgrade the firmware of a Cyclone if the firmware in the
Cyclone is outdated. However, firmware update can also be forced by using the checkbox in File-
>Force Firmware Update. This option will update the firmware on the Cyclone with the latest
firmware in the same folder as the Cyclone Control GUI.
At launch, the Cyclone Control GUI will show all the Cyclones detected on the network and those
attached by USB connections in a drop-down list. Cyclones can also be connected to by using the
"Specify Cyclone" checkbox and specifying a Cyclone by identifier. This identifier can by the
Cyclone name, its IP address or its port number.
Once the Cyclone is selected, clicking on the "Connect" button will bring a series of tabs that will
allow full access to the Cyclone.
