Introduction to the CAPS user interface

This section introduces you to the following CAPS topics:

•

Project development steps and considerations.

•

A reference for the CAPS user interface.

•

Beginning steps needed to start a project.

2.1

Project development

The CAPS software guides the designer through the process of configuring a target device for

a particular application, using the following project development steps.

Create a unique project for each device under test/application combination.

Configure voltage, clock source, peripheral and GPIO pins, and hardware and firmware

parameters.

Merge the design with your Intel hex-format firmware file.

Program the resulting programming data file into your device.

Save your project to a file for later use.

2.2

The user interface

This section is a reference for the CAPS user interface. To learn how to begin using the

interface to work with a project, see Starting a project.

Figure 1: CAPS user interface shows the basic CAPS user interface components, followed by a

brief description of each component. Following sections describes the menu bar in more detail.

Specific functionality is described in Designing with CAPS.

The CAPS software is a Windows-based program. As such, the user interface implements

basic interface conventions commonly found in Windows programs.
