EK lite

The mini-CD delivered with the EK3LV02DL contains also a lite version of the previous GUI

together with its source code. The source code can be found in the directory:

($Home)\STM\EK3LV02DL\EK3LVDL_lite

where ($Home) represents the directory in which the SW delivered with the evaluation kit

has been installed (C:\Program Files by default).

The intention is to provide to the user a guidance to the development of his/her own

customized application.

The evaluation kit is started by launching the executable EK3LV02DL Lite which is contained

in the EK3LV02DQ > Executables folder.

The graphical aspect of the GUI associated to the application is shown in Figure 22.
