Step 2.1 - (Optional) Configure Communication Port; Step 3 - Check System Status - Mini-Circuits ISC-2425-25+ Quick Start Manual

2.3 Step 2.1 – (Optional) Configure communication port
By default, the application should automatically detect the hardware communication port at which the signal generator
is plugged in. If for whatever reason the application cannot find the signal generator board, it can be forced to use a
specific port by editing the program's configuration file.
1. In the folder where the software was extracted find and open the file 'config.txt'.
2. Inside the config.txt file find the entry 'SGX_port_1' and uncomment it by removing the '#' in front, then provide a
valid port name for the signal generator board.
Note: The device's port name can be found using Window's Device Manager or by looking at the Linux' / dev/ directory.
For detailed instructions see Chapter 3.2 Step 2 – Set up communication.
Automatic port detection can be re-enabled again by commenting out the line with a '#'.
2.4 Step 3 – Check system status
Before continuing to the RF application activity, take a moment to become familiarized with some of GUI's features.
In the 'Home' menu take a look at the status bar in the lower right area of the GUI to see if there are any errors.

In the 'Settings' menu take a look at the bottom row to see the version of the signal generator board's firmware as

well as the version of the GUI software.
In this case the firmware version on the ISC-2425-25+ is v1.11.0 and there are no pending errors. If there were
an error, it would be displayed on the GUI like so:
The GUI automatically attempts to clear errors. If any errors persist, that means there is an ongoing problem with the setup
that must be resolved before continuing.
