4 UWB Evaluation PC Software

The GUI demonstrates the distance measurement with the UWB devices. It also makes it easy for the user to gain experience with the ATA8352/ATA5352 IC and help to evaluate it. Running the executable file UWB_Evaluation_GUI.exe located in the installation subdirectory UWB_Evaluation_GUI starts the GUI software.

Note: For optimal graphical representations, it is recommended to set the Microsoft Windows operating system display scale factor to 100% for any PC screen resolution. The following sections describe the features of the GUI and how to use it.
