The USB console gives you direct control over the connected node. You can read out the most important parameters directly such as:

Hardwareversion
Uptime
Antenna delay values
Identifier
Versions and crc's of bootloader, firmwareloader, anchorFW, tagFW and the subversionnumber.

The console can be accessed from any of the possible firmwares (bootloader, fwloader, anchorFW, tagFW). The green box indicates the current FW.

There are several commands available that give you more control over the node. Type help to get an idea of the commands. A detailed list of all the commands and more info on how to use the console yourself can be found here.

You can also update the FW of the node through the USB window. More information can be found here.

By toggling AutoOpen, the USB connection will automatically be opened as soon as the host computer feels that a device is attached.
