<hr />
<div>== About == <br />
<br />
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. <br><br />
<br />
It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Current Sensor ranges.<br />
|-<br />
! Sensor !! Current Range !! Shunt Resistor !! Shunt Size<br />
|-<br />
| S1 || 0 - 5 Amps || R4 || 0.025 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S2 || 0 - 2.5 Amps || R5 || 0.05 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S3 || 0 – 1.25 Amps || R6 || 0.1 Ohms<br />
|}<br />
<br />
When in doubt, use S1 as it has the largest current range, but for developments where the current draw is known to be within the lower ranges these would be better to use as they would give a more detailed view of currents drawn at different times.<br><br />
<br />
Full information on the Lynsyn Lite can be found here:<br />
https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki<br />
<br />
== Hardware Setup ==<br />
=== Power Measurement setup ===<br />
Connect the NEGATIVE (GND) from both the power supply '''AND''' the unit under test to GND.<br><br />
Connect Positive '''FROM''' the power supply to S1+ (or S2+ or S3+).<br><br />
Connect Positive '''TO''' the unit under test to S1- (or S2- or S3-).<br><br />
(If they are the wrong way round, you will view some strange current readings.)<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn power measurement connections.png|frame|left|Lynsyn power measurement connections]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
<br />
=== JTAG setup ===<br />
An adaptor needed to convert the 0.1” header on the Lynsyn Lite to the standard 2mm JTAG cable.<br><br />
It is included in the box. Both connections are keyed meaning it should be hard to get it the wrong way round.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn JTAG connection.png|frame|left|Lynsyn JTAG connection]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
<br />
=== Power for the Lynsyn Lite ===<br />
The Lynsyn Lit is powered using the same MicroUSB port that is used for communication.<br><br />
It's in the bottom left corner of the module.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn Lite power and comms.png|frame|left|Lynsyn Lite power and comms]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
<br />
== Software Setup ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki/Installing-on-Windows)<br><br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Download the pre-built binaries (executables) of the Lynsyn tools. These can be found here:<br><br />
[https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases/download/V1.3/lynsyn-host-software_win-x86_64_v1.3.zip DOWNLOAD LYNSYN TOOLS V1.3 LINK]<br><br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases)<br />
</li><br />
<li>Unzip the tools to a location on your computer.<br><br />
The software tools are not installed and are just run from within this folder so it can be anywhere, <br><br />
but for ease of use we would suggest '''C:\lynsyn\'''.<br />
</li><br />
<li>Install the driver for the card. <br />
<ol type="a"><br />
<li><br />
<p>Connect the Lynsyn Lite to your PC. It gets power over the MicroUSB connection.</p><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
<p>Open the Zadig application. Your PC may ask if you want to run it (UAC), you do.<br><br />
It should pop up like this:</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig application.png|thumb|frame|left|zadig application]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
<p>From the “Options” menu, select “List All Devices”.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig ListAll.png|thumb|left|Zadig ListAll]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><p>The drop-down box in the middle of the application will now be populated. Open this and select the Lynsyn.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig SelectLynsyn.png|thumb|left|Zadig Select Lynsyn]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><P>Press the button to Install / Reinstall driver.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig Install Driver.png|left|thumb]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><p>This may take a few minutes, please wait till you see the pop up saying that the driver was successfully installed:</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig Install done.png|thumb|left|Zadig Instal Done]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
<p>The Lynsyn Lite should now be ready to use.</p><br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
As there are many variations of Linux, this guide is for Ubuntu 22.04. <br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a terminal window and update and upgrade <br><br />
<code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the required dependencies for the Lynsyn project.<br><br />
<code>sudo apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite libusb-1.0-0-dev git dbus-x11</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Clone the GitHub repository to your machine.<br><br />
<code>git clone https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software.git</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Go to the cloned directory<br><br />
<code>cd lynsyn-host-software/</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Run the make (Just type “make” – no inverted commas) file to compile the software. It will look like a lot has gone wrong, but as long as it says '''“Host software compilation successful”''' at the end, you are OK.<br><br />
<code>make</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the made software by running this command:<br><br />
<code>sudo make install</code><br />
Again, it will say a lot, but as long as it shows '''“Host software compilation successful”''' and '''“Software and hardware installed”''' it is all OK.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p><br />
You have now built the software packages required for the Lynsyn Lite.<br />
== Running the Power Measurement Tools ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
==== Recording a Session ====<br />
===== From the command line =====<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a command prompt window and navigate to '''C:\Lynsyn''' (or wherever you saved the tools earlier)<br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
To start logging a session you need to use the '''<code>lynsyn_sampler</code>''' application.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn sampler windows.png|frame|left|Lynsyn sampler windows]]<br />
<br><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
For this simple example we will be just setting to run the application for a 30 second session and saving the data to the default “output.csv” file. To run it for longer or shorter, just change the number at the end. <br><br />
'''''WARNING – These files can get large fast. This 30 second sample is around 63Mb'''''.<br><br />
The format for this is:<br><br />
<code>lynsyn_sampler -d 30</code><br />
[[File:Sampler 30 seconds windows.png|left|frame|Running the Sampler for 30 Seconds]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Once finished you will get the command line prompt back.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
===== From the GUI =====<br />
From the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the <code>“lynsyn_viewer.exe”</code> application.<br><br />
In the top left corner there are two buttons, “'''Profile'''” and “'''Live'''”<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile and live.png|left|frame|Lynsyn viewer Profile and live]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Pressing the “Live” button brings up a box showing what is happening NOW:<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer LIVE.png|frameless|left|Lynsyn viewer LIVE]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
The “Profile” button brings up a box in which you select the length of the sampling you wish to have.<br><br />
Pressing OK starts the sampling. When complete, “Profiling Done” is shown and the new set of samples are shown in the graph.<br />
<p><br />
Next to these two buttons are three dropdown lists. One selects the parameter shown (Current, Voltage or Power), the second selects which sensor.<br><br />
In our example, the third is un-used.<br><br />
You can interact with the graph using your mouse. If you draw a box round a section (left button), it will zoom in. Left clicking will show the values at that point.<br><br />
Right clicking will zoom out again.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile graph.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer Profile graph]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
To save this data, go to “File” then “Export CSV.” <br />
<br />
==== Viewing a Session if Recorded from the Command Line or from a Previous Save ====<br />
If you recorded the session via the command line, from the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the “<code>lynsyn_viewer.exe</code>” application.<br />
<p><br />
When opening it will display the previous result by default. To load the latest set of sampled data, go to “'''File'''” then “'''import CSV.'''”<p><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer import.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer import]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Select the file (by default it has “output.csv”) and press OK. <br><br />
After a few moments it should say “Import Done” and a graph of the recorded session will be shown.<br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile graph.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer Profile graph]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
You can interact with the graph using your mouse. If you draw a box round a section (left button), it will zoom in. Left clicking will show the values at that point.<br />
Right clicking will zoom out again.<br />
<br />
=== LINUX ===<br />
==== Recording a Session ====<br />
===== From the command line =====<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a terminal window. As you got, built and installed the files previously, you don't need to be in a specific folder to run the applications.<br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
To start logging a session you need to use the '''<code>lynsyn_sampler</code>''' application.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn sampler linux.png|frame|left|Lynsyn sampler windows]]<br />
<br><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
For this simple example we will be just setting to run the application for a 30 second session and saving the data to the default “output.csv” file. To run it for longer or shorter, just change the number at the end. <br><br />
'''''WARNING – These files can get large fast. This 30 second sample is around 63Mb<br>You need to be sudo so the computer can interact with the Lynsyn Lite.'''''.<br><br />
The format for this is:<br><br />
<code>sudo lynsyn_sampler -d 30</code><br />
[[File:Sampler 30 seconds linux.png|left|frame|Running the Sampler for 30 Seconds]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />

It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Current Sensor ranges.<br />
|-<br />
! Sensor !! Current Range !! Shunt Resistor !! Shunt Size<br />
|-<br />
| S1 || 0 - 5 Amps || R4 || 0.025 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S2 || 0 - 2.5 Amps || R5 || 0.05 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S3 || 0 – 1.25 Amps || R6 || 0.1 Ohms<br />
|}<br />
<br />
When in doubt, use S1 as it has the largest current range, but for developments where the current draw is known to be within the lower ranges these would be better to use as they would give a more detailed view of currents drawn at different times.<br><br />
<br />
Full information on the Lynsyn Lite can be found here:<br />
https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki<br />
<br />
== Hardware Setup ==<br />
Connect the NEGATIVE (GND) from both the power supply '''AND''' the unit under test to GND.<br><br />
Connect Positive '''FROM''' the power supply to S1+ (or S2+ or S3+).<br><br />
Connect Positive '''TO''' the unit under test to S1- (or S2- or S3-).<br><br />
(If they are the wrong way round, you will view some strange current readings.)<br><br />

<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Download the pre-built binaries (executables) of the Lynsyn tools. These can be found here:<br><br />
[https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases/download/V1.3/lynsyn-host-software_win-x86_64_v1.3.zip DOWNLOAD LYNSYN TOOLS V1.3 LINK]<br><br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases)<br />
</li><br />
<li>Unzip the tools to a location on your computer.<br><br />
The software tools are not installed and are just run from within this folder so it can be anywhere, <br><br />
but for ease of use we would suggest '''C:\lynsyn\'''.<br />
</li><br />
<li>Install the driver for the card. <br />
<ol type="a"><br />
<li><br />
<p>Connect the Lynsyn Lite to your PC. It gets power over the MicroUSB connection.</p><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
<p>Open the Zadig application. Your PC may ask if you want to run it (UAC), you do.<br><br />
It should pop up like this:</p><br />

</ol><br />
<br />
<p>The Lynsyn Lite should now be ready to use.</p><br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
As there are many variations of Linux, this guide is for Ubuntu 22.04. <br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a terminal window and update and upgrade <br><br />
<code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the required dependencies for the Lynsyn project.<br><br />
<code>sudo apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite libusb-1.0-0-dev git dbus-x11</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Clone the GitHub repository to your machine.<br><br />
<code>git clone https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software.git</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Go to the cloned directory<br><br />
<code>cd lynsyn-host-software/</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Run the make (Just type “make” – no inverted commas) file to compile the software. It will look like a lot has gone wrong, but as long as it says '''“Host software compilation successful”''' at the end, you are OK.<br><br />
<code>make</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the made software by running this command:<br><br />
<code>sudo make install</code><br />
Again, it will say a lot, but as long as it shows '''“Host software compilation successful”''' and '''“Software and hardware installed”''' it is all OK.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p><br />
You have now built the software packages required for the Lynsyn Lite.<br />
== Running the Power Measurement Tools ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
==== Recording a Session ====<br />
===== From the command line =====<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a command prompt window and navigate to '''C:\Lynsyn''' (or wherever you saved the tools earlier)<br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
To start logging a session you need to use the '''<code>lynsyn_sampler</code>''' application.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn sampler windows.png|frame|left|Lynsyn sampler windows]]<br />
<br><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
For this simple example we will be just setting to run the application for a 30 second session and saving the data to the default “output.csv” file. To run it for longer or shorter, just change the number at the end. <br><br />
'''''WARNING – These files can get large fast. This 30 second sample is around 63Mb'''''.<br><br />
The format for this is:<br><br />
<code>lynsyn_sampler -d 30</code><br />
[[File:Sampler 30 seconds windows.png|left|frame|Running the Sampler for 30 Seconds]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Once finished you will get the command line prompt back.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
===== From the GUI =====<br />
From the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the <code>“lynsyn_viewer.exe”</code> application.<br><br />
In the top left corner there are two buttons, “'''Profile'''” and “'''Live'''”<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile and live.png|left|frame|Lynsyn viewer Profile and live]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Pressing the “Live” button brings up a box showing what is happening NOW:<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer LIVE.png|frameless|left|Lynsyn viewer LIVE]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
The “Profile” button brings up a box in which you select the length of the sampling you wish to have.<br><br />
Pressing OK starts the sampling. When complete, “Profiling Done” is shown and the new set of samples are shown in the graph.<br />
<p><br />
Next to these two buttons are three dropdown lists. One selects the parameter shown (Current, Voltage or Power), the second selects which sensor.<br><br />
In our example, the third is un-used.<br><br />
You can interact with the graph using your mouse. If you draw a box round a section (left button), it will zoom in. Left clicking will show the values at that point.<br><br />
Right clicking will zoom out again.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile graph.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer Profile graph]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
To save this data, go to “File” then “Export CSV.” <br />
<br />
==== Viewing a Session if Recorded from the Command Line or from a Previous Save ====<br />
If you recorded the session via the command line, from the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the “<code>lynsyn_viewer.exe</code>” application.<br />
<p><br />
When opening it will display the previous result by default. To load the latest set of sampled data, go to “'''File'''” then “'''import CSV.'''”<p><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer import.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer import]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Select the file (by default it has “output.csv”) and press OK. <br><br />
After a few moments it should say “Import Done” and a graph of the recorded session will be shown.<br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile graph.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer Profile graph]]<br />

<hr />
<div>== About == <br />
<br />
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. <br><br />
<br />
It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Current Sensor ranges.<br />
|-<br />
! Sensor !! Current Range !! Shunt Resistor !! Shunt Size<br />
|-<br />
| S1 || 0 - 5 Amps || R4 || 0.025 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S2 || 0 - 2.5 Amps || R5 || 0.05 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S3 || 0 – 1.25 Amps || R6 || 0.1 Ohms<br />
|}<br />
<br />
When in doubt, use S1 as it has the largest current range, but for developments where the current draw is known to be within the lower ranges these would be better to use as they would give a more detailed view of currents drawn at different times.<br><br />
<br />

(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases)<br />
</li><br />
<li>Unzip the tools to a location on your computer.<br><br />
The software tools are not installed and are just run from within this folder so it can be anywhere, <br><br />
but for ease of use we would suggest '''C:\lynsyn\'''.<br />
</li><br />
<li>Install the driver for the card. <br />
<ol type="a"><br />

</li><br />
</ol><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
<p>The Lynsyn Lite should now be ready to use.</p><br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
As there are many variations of Linux, this guide is for Ubuntu 22.04. <br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a terminal window and update and upgrade <br><br />
<code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the required dependencies for the Lynsyn project.<br><br />
<code>sudo apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite libusb-1.0-0-dev git dbus-x11</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Clone the GitHub repository to your machine.<br><br />
<code>git clone https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software.git</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Go to the cloned directory<br><br />
<code>cd lynsyn-host-software/</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Run the make (Just type “make” – no inverted commas) file to compile the software. It will look like a lot has gone wrong, but as long as it says '''“Host software compilation successful”''' at the end, you are OK.<br><br />
<code>make</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the made software by running this command:<br><br />
<code>sudo make install</code><br />
Again, it will say a lot, but as long as it shows '''“Host software compilation successful”''' and '''“Software and hardware installed”''' it is all OK.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p><br />
You have now built the software packages required for the Lynsyn Lite.<br />

==== Recording a Session ====<br />
===== From the command line =====<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a command prompt window and navigate to '''C:\Lynsyn''' (or wherever you saved the tools earlier)<br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
To start logging a session you need to use the '''<code>lynsyn_sampler</code>''' application.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn sampler windows.png|frame|left|Lynsyn sampler windows]]<br />
<br><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
For this simple example we will be just setting to run the application for a 30 second session and saving the data to the default “output.csv” file. To run it for longer or shorter, just change the number at the end. <br><br />
'''''WARNING – These files can get large fast. This 30 second sample is around 63Mb'''''.<br><br />
The format for this is:<br><br />
<code>lynsyn_sampler -d 30</code><br />
[[File:Sampler 30 seconds windows.png|left|frame|Running the Sampler for 30 Seconds]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Once finished you will get the command line prompt back.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
===== From the GUI =====<br />
From the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the <code>“lynsyn_viewer.exe”</code> application.<br><br />
In the top left corner there are two buttons, “'''Profile'''” and “'''Live'''”<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile and live.png|left|frame|Lynsyn viewer Profile and live]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Pressing the “Live” button brings up a box showing what is happening NOW:<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer LIVE.png|frameless|left|Lynsyn viewer LIVE]]<br />

The “Profile” button brings up a box in which you select the length of the sampling you wish to have.<br><br />
Pressing OK starts the sampling. When complete, “Profiling Done” is shown and the new set of samples are shown in the graph.<br />
<p><br />
Next to these two buttons are three dropdown lists. One selects the parameter shown (Current, Voltage or Power), the second selects which sensor.<br><br />
In our example, the third is un-used.<br><br />
You can interact with the graph using your mouse. If you draw a box round a section (left button), it will zoom in. Left clicking will show the values at that point.<br><br />
Right clicking will zoom out again.<br><br />

<hr />
<div>== About == <br />
<br />
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. <br><br />
<br />
It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Current Sensor ranges.<br />
|-<br />
! Sensor !! Current Range !! Shunt Resistor !! Shunt Size<br />
|-<br />
| S1 || 0 - 5 Amps || R4 || 0.025 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S2 || 0 - 2.5 Amps || R5 || 0.05 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S3 || 0 – 1.25 Amps || R6 || 0.1 Ohms<br />
|}<br />
<br />
When in doubt, use S1 as it has the largest current range, but for developments where the current draw is known to be within the lower ranges these would be better to use as they would give a more detailed view of currents drawn at different times.<br><br />
<br />
Full information on the Lynsyn Lite can be found here:<br />
https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki<br />
<br />
== Software Setup ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki/Installing-on-Windows)<br><br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Download the pre-built binaries (executables) of the Lynsyn tools. These can be found here:<br><br />
[https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases/download/V1.3/lynsyn-host-software_win-x86_64_v1.3.zip DOWNLOAD LYNSYN TOOLS V1.3 LINK]<br><br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases)<br />
</li><br />
<li>Unzip the tools to a location on your computer.<br><br />
The software tools are not installed and are just run from within this folder so it can be anywhere, <br><br />
but for ease of use we would suggest '''C:\lynsyn\'''.<br />
</li><br />
<li>Install the driver for the card. <br />
<ol type="a"><br />
<li><br />
<p>Connect the Lynsyn Lite to your PC. It gets power over the MicroUSB connection.</p><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
<p>Open the Zadig application. Your PC may ask if you want to run it (UAC), you do.<br><br />
It should pop up like this:</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig application.png|thumb|frame|left|zadig application]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
<p>From the “Options” menu, select “List All Devices”.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig ListAll.png|thumb|left|Zadig ListAll]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><p>The drop-down box in the middle of the application will now be populated. Open this and select the Lynsyn.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig SelectLynsyn.png|thumb|left|Zadig Select Lynsyn]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><P>Press the button to Install / Reinstall driver.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig Install Driver.png|left|thumb]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><p>This may take a few minutes, please wait till you see the pop up saying that the driver was successfully installed:</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig Install done.png|thumb|left|Zadig Instal Done]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
<p>The Lynsyn Lite should now be ready to use.</p><br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
As there are many variations of Linux, this guide is for Ubuntu 22.04. <br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a terminal window and update and upgrade <br><br />
<code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the required dependencies for the Lynsyn project.<br><br />
<code>sudo apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite libusb-1.0-0-dev git dbus-x11</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Clone the GitHub repository to your machine.<br><br />
<code>git clone https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software.git</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Go to the cloned directory<br><br />
<code>cd lynsyn-host-software/</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Run the make (Just type “make” – no inverted commas) file to compile the software. It will look like a lot has gone wrong, but as long as it says '''“Host software compilation successful”''' at the end, you are OK.<br><br />
<code>make</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the made software by running this command:<br><br />
<code>sudo make install</code><br />
Again, it will say a lot, but as long as it shows '''“Host software compilation successful”''' and '''“Software and hardware installed”''' it is all OK.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p><br />
You have now built the software packages required for the Lynsyn Lite.<br />

<div>== About == <br />
<br />
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. <br><br />
<br />
It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Current Sensor ranges.<br />
|-<br />
! Sensor !! Current Range !! Shunt Resistor !! Shunt Size<br />
|-<br />
| S1 || 0 - 5 Amps || R4 || 0.025 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S2 || 0 - 2.5 Amps || R5 || 0.05 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S3 || 0 – 1.25 Amps || R6 || 0.1 Ohms<br />
|}<br />
<br />
When in doubt, use S1 as it has the largest current range, but for developments where the current draw is known to be within the lower ranges these would be better to use as they would give a more detailed view of currents drawn at different times.<br><br />
<br />
Full information on the Lynsyn Lite can be found here:<br />

<br />
== Software Setup ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki/Installing-on-Windows)<br><br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Download the pre-built binaries (executables) of the Lynsyn tools. These can be found here:<br><br />
[https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases/download/V1.3/lynsyn-host-software_win-x86_64_v1.3.zip DOWNLOAD LYNSYN TOOLS V1.3 LINK]<br><br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases)<br />
</li><br />
<li>Unzip the tools to a location on your computer.<br><br />
The software tools are not installed and are just run from within this folder so it can be anywhere, <br><br />
but for ease of use we would suggest '''C:\lynsyn\'''.<br />
</li><br />
<li>Install the driver for the card. <br />
<ol type="a"><br />
<li><br />
<p>Connect the Lynsyn Lite to your PC. It gets power over the MicroUSB connection.</p><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
<p>Open the Zadig application. Your PC may ask if you want to run it (UAC), you do.<br><br />
It should pop up like this:</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig application.png|thumb|frame|left|zadig application]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />

<p>[[File:Zadig Install done.png|thumb|left|Zadig Instal Done]]</p><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
<p>The Lynsyn Lite should now be ready to use.</p><br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
As there are many variations of Linux, this guide is for Ubuntu 22.04. <br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a terminal window and update and upgrade <br><br />
<code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the required dependencies for the Lynsyn project.<br><br />
<code>sudo apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite libusb-1.0-0-dev git dbus-x11</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Clone the GitHub repository to your machine.<br><br />
<code>git clone https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software.git</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Go to the cloned directory<br><br />
<code>cd lynsyn-host-software/</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Run the make (Just type “make” – no inverted commas) file to compile the software. It will look like a lot has gone wrong, but as long as it says '''“Host software compilation successful”''' at the end, you are OK.<br><br />
<code>make</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the made software by running this command:<br><br />
<code>sudo make install</code><br />
Again, it will say a lot, but as long as it shows '''“Host software compilation successful”''' and '''“Software and hardware installed”''' it is all OK.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p><br />
You have now built the software packages required for the Lynsyn Lite.<br />
== Running the Power Measurement Tools ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
==== Recording a Session ====<br />
===== From the command line =====<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a command prompt window and navigate to '''C:\Lynsyn''' (or wherever you saved the tools earlier)<br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
To start logging a session you need to use the '''<code>lynsyn_sampler</code>''' application.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn sampler windows.png|frame|left|Lynsyn sampler windows]]<br />
<br><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
For this simple example we will be just setting to run the application for a 30 second session and saving the data to the default “output.csv” file. To run it for longer or shorter, just change the number at the end. <br><br />
'''''WARNING – These files can get large fast. This 30 second sample is around 63Mb'''''.<br><br />
The format for this is:<br><br />
<code>lynsyn_sampler -d 30</code><br />
[[File:Sampler 30 seconds windows.png|left|frame|Running the Sampler for 30 Seconds]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Once finished you will get the command line prompt back.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
===== From the GUI =====<br />
From the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the <code>“lynsyn_viewer.exe”</code> application.<br><br />
In the top left corner there are two buttons, “'''Profile'''” and “'''Live'''”<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile and live.png|left|frame|Lynsyn viewer Profile and live]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Pressing the “Live” button brings up a box showing what is happening NOW:<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer LIVE.png|frameless|left|Lynsyn viewer LIVE]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
The “Profile” button brings up a box in which you select the length of the sampling you wish to have.<br><br />
Pressing OK starts the sampling. When complete, “Profiling Done” is shown and the new set of samples are shown in the graph.<br />
<p><br />
Next to these two buttons are three dropdown lists. One selects the parameter shown (Current, Voltage or Power), the second selects which sensor.<br><br />
In our example, the third is un-used.<br><br />
You can interact with the graph using your mouse. If you draw a box round a section (left button), it will zoom in. Left clicking will show the values at that point.<br><br />
Right clicking will zoom out again.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile graph.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer Profile graph]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
To save this data, go to “File” then “Export CSV.” <br />
<br />
==== Viewing a Session if Recorded from the Command Line or from a Previous Save ====<br />
If you recorded the session via the command line, from the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the “<code>lynsyn_viewer.exe</code>” application.<br />
<p><br />
When opening it will display the previous result by default. To load the latest set of sampled data, go to “'''File'''” then “'''import CSV.'''”<p><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer import.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer import]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Select the file (by default it has “output.csv”) and press OK. <br><br />
After a few moments it should say “Import Done” and a graph of the recorded session will be shown.<br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile graph.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer Profile graph]]<br />

<hr />
<div>The SMT580 is a 3U PXI Express to PCI Express printed circuit board (PCB) adapter.<br />
<br />
Developping an FPGA firmware, a DSP application or a host-side program in a 3U PXI Express chassis is not convenient. First of all the 3U PXI Chassis are closed and the access is difficult for debugging, and secondly the embedded controller is not designed to install development software tools such as Xilinx ISE, Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio, NI Labview or MATLAB/Simulink...<br />
<br />
So, this piece of hardware has been designed for design engineers requiring to develop a 3U PXI Express-based solution from their traditional test desktop computer.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
A photograph and a diagram illustrating the SMT580 are available from:<br />
https://store.sundance.com/product/smt580/<br />
<br />
== Important note ==<br />
The SMT580 is only compatible with desktop PCs without any case (e.g. it cannot be used with tower PC types).<br />
The SMT580 converts a PXI Express bus into a PCI Express. So, enough clearance is required to fit the 3U PXI Express module in the desktop PC. <br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
The SMT580 has the following features:<br />
* Main power-supply taken from the PCI Express connector,<br />
* Auxiliary +3.3Vdc and +12Vdc power rails available from the SMT580,<br />
* Compatible with all 3U PXI Express modules,<br />
* Reset button available on the SMT580,<br />
* Compatible with PCI x1, x4, and x8 lanes.<br />
<br />
== Pinout ==<br />
'''PXI Express connector (XJ3):'''<br />
* PCI Reference clock from PCI Express bus (Desktop PC)<br />
* Only 8 PCI Express lanes routed <br />
<br />
'''PXI Trigger connector (XJ4):'''<br />
* Only +3.3Vdc, +12Vdc and GND signals connected<br />
* Other pins left unconnected<br />
<br />
'''PCI Express connector:'''<br />
* +3.3Vdc, +12Vdc lines and GND lines are routed<br />
* Only 8 PCI Express lanes routed<br />
<br />
'''PCI lane selection (JP1):'''<br />
* Select the number of PCI Express lanes: x1 (default), x2, x4 or x8<br />
<br />
'''Auxiliary Power connector (JP3):'''<br />
* +3.3Vdc (pins 6-8), +12Vdc (pins 2-4) and GND (pins 1-3-5-7)<br />
<br />
'''Reset Push-button (SW1):'''<br />
* Reset the 3U PXI Express module and routed to the PCI Express reset lines</div>Christopherhhttp://wiki.sundance.com/index.php?title=Lynsyn_Lite&diff=138Lynsyn Lite2024-11-01T10:53:30Z<p>Christopherh: /* Running the Power Measurement Tools */</p>

<br />
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. <br><br />
<br />
It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />

Once loaded, in the top left corner there are two buttons, “'''Profile'''” and “'''Live'''”<br />
<br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile and live.png|left|frame|Lynsyn viewer Profile and live]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Pressing the “Live” button brings up a box showing what is happening NOW:<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer LIVE.png|frameless|left|Lynsyn viewer LIVE]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
The “Profile” button brings up a box in which you select the length of the sampling you wish to have.<br><br />
Pressing OK starts the sampling. When complete, “Profiling Done” is shown and the new set of samples are shown in the graph.<br />
<p><br />
Next to these two buttons are three dropdown lists. One selects the parameter shown (Current, Voltage or Power), the second selects which sensor.<br><br />
In our example, the third is un-used.<br><br />
You can interact with the graph using your mouse. If you draw a box round a section (left button), it will zoom in. Left clicking will show the values at that point.<br><br />
Right clicking will zoom out again.<br><br />

<div>== About == <br />
<br />
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. <br><br />
<br />
It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Current Sensor ranges.<br />
|-<br />
! Sensor !! Current Range !! Shunt Resistor !! Shunt Size<br />
|-<br />
| S1 || 0 - 5 Amps || R4 || 0.025 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S2 || 0 - 2.5 Amps || R5 || 0.05 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S3 || 0 – 1.25 Amps || R6 || 0.1 Ohms<br />
|}<br />
<br />
When in doubt, use S1 as it has the largest current range, but for developments where the current draw is known to be within the lower ranges these would be better to use as they would give a more detailed view of currents drawn at different times.<br><br />
<br />
Full information on the Lynsyn Lite can be found here:<br />

== Software Setup ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki/Installing-on-Windows)<br><br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Download the pre-built binaries (executables) of the Lynsyn tools. These can be found here:<br><br />
[https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases/download/V1.3/lynsyn-host-software_win-x86_64_v1.3.zip DOWNLOAD LYNSYN TOOLS V1.3 LINK]<br><br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases)<br />
</li><br />
<li>Unzip the tools to a location on your computer.<br><br />
The software tools are not installed and are just run from within this folder so it can be anywhere, <br><br />
but for ease of use we would suggest '''C:\lynsyn\'''.<br />
</li><br />
<li>Install the driver for the card. <br />
<ol type="a"><br />
<li><br />
<p>Connect the Lynsyn Lite to your PC. It gets power over the MicroUSB connection.</p><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
<p>Open the Zadig application. Your PC may ask if you want to run it (UAC), you do.<br><br />
It should pop up like this:</p><br />

<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
As there are many variations of Linux, this guide is for Ubuntu 22.04. <br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a terminal window and update and upgrade <br><br />
<code>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the required dependencies for the Lynsyn project.<br><br />
<code>sudo apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite libusb-1.0-0-dev git dbus-x11</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Clone the GitHub repository to your machine.<br><br />
<code>git clone https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software.git</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Go to the cloned directory<br><br />
<code>cd lynsyn-host-software/</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Run the make (Just type “make” – no inverted commas) file to compile the software. It will look like a lot has gone wrong, but as long as it says '''“Host software compilation successful”''' at the end, you are OK.<br><br />
<code>make</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the made software by running this command:<br><br />
<code>sudo make install</code><br />
Again, it will say a lot, but as long as it shows '''“Host software compilation successful”''' and '''“Software and hardware installed”''' it is all OK.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p><br />
You have now built the software packages required for the Lynsyn Lite.<br />

Run the make (Just type “make” – no inverted commas) file to compile the software. It will look like a lot has gone wrong, but as long as it says '''“Host software compilation successful”''' at the end, you are OK.<br><br />
<code>make</code><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the made software by running this command:<br><br />
<code>sudo make install</code><br />
Again, it will say a lot, but as long as it shows '''“Host software compilation successful”''' and '''“Software and hardware installed”''' it is all OK.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p><br />
You have now built the software packages required for the Lynsyn Lite.<br />
== Running the Power Measurement Tools ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
==== Recording a Session ====<br />
===== From the command line =====<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a command prompt window and navigate to '''C:\Lynsyn''' (or wherever you saved the tools earlier)<br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
To start logging a session you need to use the '''<code>lynsyn_sampler</code>''' application.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn sampler windows.png|frame|left|Lynsyn sampler windows]]<br />
<br><br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
For this simple example we will be just setting to run the application for a 30 second session and saving the data to the default “output.csv” file. To run it for longer or shorter, just change the number at the end. <br><br />
'''''WARNING – These files can get large fast. This 30 second sample is around 63Mb'''''.<br><br />
The format for this is:<br><br />
<code>lynsyn_sampler -d 30</code><br />
[[File:Sampler 30 seconds windows.png|left|frame|Running the Sampler for 30 Seconds]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Once finished you will get the command line prompt back.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
===== From the GUI =====<br />
From the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the <code>“lynsyn_viewer.exe”</code> application.<br><br />
In the top left corner there are two buttons, “'''Profile'''” and “'''Live'''”<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile and live.png|left|frame|Lynsyn viewer Profile and live]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Pressing the “Live” button brings up a box showing what is happening NOW:<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer LIVE.png|frameless|left|Lynsyn viewer LIVE]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
The “Profile” button brings up a box in which you select the length of the sampling you wish to have.<br><br />
Pressing OK starts the sampling. When complete, “Profiling Done” is shown and the new set of samples are shown in the graph.<br />
<p><br />
Next to these two buttons are three dropdown lists. One selects the parameter shown (Current, Voltage or Power), the second selects which sensor.<br><br />
In our example, the third is un-used.<br><br />
You can interact with the graph using your mouse. If you draw a box round a section (left button), it will zoom in. Left clicking will show the values at that point.<br><br />
Right clicking will zoom out again.<br><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile graph.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer Profile graph]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
To save this data, go to “File” then “Export CSV.” <br />
<br />
==== Viewing a Session if Recorded from the Command Line or from a Previous Save ====<br />
If you recorded the session via the command line, from the Lynsyn folder you created, launch the “<code>lynsyn_viewer.exe</code>” application.<br />
<p><br />
When opening it will display the previous result by default. To load the latest set of sampled data, go to “'''File'''” then “'''import CSV.'''”<p><br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer import.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer import]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
Select the file (by default it has “output.csv”) and press OK. <br><br />
After a few moments it should say “Import Done” and a graph of the recorded session will be shown.<br />
[[File:Lynsyn viewer Profile graph.png|frame|left|Lynsyn viewer Profile graph]]<br />
<div style="clear: both"></div><br />
You can interact with the graph using your mouse. If you draw a box round a section (left button), it will zoom in. Left clicking will show the values at that point.<br />
Right clicking will zoom out again.</div>Christopherhhttp://wiki.sundance.com/index.php?title=File:Lynsyn_viewer_import.png&diff=132File:Lynsyn viewer import.png2024-10-31T18:02:12Z<p>Christopherh: </p>

<div>== About == <br />
<br />
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. <br><br />
<br />
It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Current Sensor ranges.<br />
|-<br />
! Sensor !! Current Range !! Shunt Resistor !! Shunt Size<br />
|-<br />
| S1 || 0 - 5 Amps || R4 || 0.025 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S2 || 0 - 2.5 Amps || R5 || 0.05 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S3 || 0 – 1.25 Amps || R6 || 0.1 Ohms<br />
|}<br />
<br />
When in doubt, user S1 as it has the largest current range, but for developments where the current draw is known to be within the lower ranges, these would be better to use as they would give a more detailed view of currents drawn at different times.<br><br />
<br />

<div>== About == <br />
<br />
The Lynsyn Lite is a dual-purpose card for both power measurement and JTAG communications. <br><br />
<br />
It can monitor voltage and current on three independent sensors, with voltage ranges between 0V and 23V and currents between 0A and 5A.<br><br />
<br />
By default, and as supplied for the V3.1 hardware, the sensors are set to be as the table below:<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ Current Sensor ranges.<br />
|-<br />
! Sensor !! Current Range !! Shunt Resistor !! Shunt Size<br />
|-<br />
| S1 || 0 - 5 Amps || R4 || 0.025 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S2 || 0 - 2.5 Amps || R5 || 0.05 Ohms<br />
|-<br />
| S3 || 0 – 1.25 Amps || R6 || 0.1 Ohms<br />
|}<br />
<br />
When in doubt, user S1 as it has the largest current range, but for developments where the current draw is known to be within the lower ranges, these would be better to use as they would give a more detailed view of currents drawn at different times.<br><br />
<br />
Full information on the Lynsyn Lite can be found here:<br />
https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki<br />
<br />
== Software Setup ==<br />
=== Windows ===<br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/wiki/Installing-on-Windows)<br><br />
<br />
<ol><br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
<li>Download the pre-built binaries (executables) of the Lynsyn tools. These can be found here:<br><br />
[https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases/download/V1.3/lynsyn-host-software_win-x86_64_v1.3.zip DOWNLOAD LYNSYN TOOLS V1.3 LINK]<br><br />
(https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software/releases)<br />
</li><br />
|-<br />
|<li>Unzip the tools to a location on your computer.<br><br />
The software tools are not installed and are just run from within this folder so it can be anywhere, <br><br />
but for ease of use we would suggest '''C:\lynsyn\'''.<br />
</li><br />
|-<br />
|<li>Install the driver for the card. <br />
<ul><br />
<li><br />
<p>Connect the Lynsyn Lite to your PC. It gets power over the MicroUSB connection.</p><br />
</li><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
<ul><br />
<li><br />
<p>Open the Zadig application. Your PC may ask if you want to run it (UAC), you do.<br><br />
It should pop up like this:</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig application.png|thumb|frame|left|zadig application]]</p><br />
</li><br />
|-<br />
|<br />
<ul><li><br />
<p>From the “Options” menu, select “List All Devices”.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig ListAll.png|thumb|left|Zadig ListAll]]</p><br />
</li><br />
<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
<ul><li><p>The drop-down box in the middle of the application will now be populated. Open this and select the Lynsyn.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig SelectLynsyn.png|thumb|left|Zadig Select Lynsyn]]</p><br />
</li><br />
<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
<ul><li><P>Press the button to Install / Reinstall driver.</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig Install Driver.png|left|thumb]]</p><br />
</li><br />
<br />
|-<br />
|<br />
<ul><li><p>This may take a few minutes, please wait till you see the pop up saying that the driver was successfully installed:</p><br />
<p>[[File:Zadig Install done.png|thumb|left|Zadig Instal Done]]</p><br />
</li><br />
|}<br />
<br />
<p>The Lynsyn Lite should now be ready to use.</p><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
As there are many variations of Linux, this guide is for Ubuntu 22.04. <br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li><br />
Open a terminal window and update and upgrade <br><br />
<pre>sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade</pre><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the required dependencies for the Lynsyn project.<br><br />
<pre>sudo apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite libusb-1.0-0-dev git dbus-x11</pre><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Clone the GitHub repository to your machine.<br><br />
<pre>git clone https://github.com/EECS-NTNU/lynsyn-host-software.git</pre><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Go to the cloned directory<br><br />
<pre>cd lynsyn-host-software/</pre><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Run the make (Just type “make” – no inverted commas) file to compile the software. It will look like a lot has gone wrong, but as long as it says '''“Host software compilation successful”''' at the end, you are OK.<br><br />
<pre>make</pre><br />
</li><br />
<li><br />
Install the made software by running this command:<br><br />
<pre>sudo make install</pre><br />
Again, it will say a lot, but as long as it shows '''“Host software compilation successful”''' and '''“Software and hardware installed”''' it is all OK.<br />
</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p><br />
You have now built the software packages required for the Lynsyn Lite.</div>Christopherhhttp://wiki.sundance.com/index.php?title=File:Zadig_Install_done.png&diff=122File:Zadig Install done.png2024-10-31T17:01:06Z<p>Christopherh: </p>
