| | 1 | Verify that a serial cable has been connected between the WARP FPGA board and the Windows PC. Open the terminal emulator application on the PC, and set its operating parameters to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, one stop bit, no parity. The following screen shot illustrates a correct configuration for the Tera Term Pro terminal emulator application. |
