Chapter 4. ZIO Control Panel
The ZIO Control Panel is a GUI application that allows most features of ZIO to be tested without
writing code.
When the control panel is started, the application prompts for the serial device name of the ZIO
motherboard, as show in Figure 4.1, "Serial Device Input". Select the serial device and click on OK .
The control panel window as shown in Figure 4.2, "Control Panel Screenshot" is displayed. The
control panel has multiple sub-panels, one for each module.
