The RIO GUI Software is used to configure the RIO locally via a serial port. When you start the GUI it will display this window.
The GUI screen layout has five main parts:
The navigation pane is the tree structure on the left side of the main window. It is used to navigate between forms. Each form has a set of related configuration parameters.
Clicking an entry in the navigation pane causes the status bar to be cleared and the form being moved from to be validated. A new status bar message may result if a validation error occurs. If the navigation pane entry that is clicked is for the current form then the same action occurs. This offers a method of validating a form without moving off it.
