This page explains how to install the components necessary to run the PC GUI software for the Evaluation Kits.

Installation of Jupyter Environment and Anaconda Python Distribution

The simplest way to install Jupyter is accomplished though the installation of Anaconda. This may install more than is needed but is a simple way to install nearly all requirements in one step. Download and install Anaconda here.

If the installer offers you the installation of optional applications, just skip those, they are not needed to run the demos or edit their code.

Installation of Pyserial

At least with Anaconda installation on Windows, pyserial (python serial port support library) is not included and has to be installed. This can be done from the Anaconda command prompt. To open the Anaconda command prompt, just press the windows key, type Anaconda prompt and open it. Enter

conda install -c anaconda pyserial

into the command prompt an press enter. This starts the search for software dependencies of pyserial, you are asked to confirm the installation, to proceed press Y.
The console shows a message when pyserial is installed and thereafter the console is no longer needed and can be closed. The first image shows how to launch the Anaconda Command Prompt. The second image shows how to install pyserial.

Downloading the Jupyter Demos

Download the file that corresponds to your Evaluation Kit.

• AnalogMAX-01
• AnalogMAX-DAQ1
• AnalogMAX-DAQ2
• AnalogMAX-DAQ3

Making the demos accessible for Jupyter

The Jupyter Windows application has access to the Windows user folder. It is convenient to create a folder named arrow_demos in which you can place the Jupyter files. The path will look similar to this:

C:\users\your_username\arrow_demos

After downloading the file, unzip it and copy the contents to the arrow_demos folder. The software is now ready for use.
