Getting started
===============

The Cyton manual is located in cytonViewer-1.2/docs/cytonUserManual.pdf


In order to properly configure the Cyton to the connected serial port, modify the first line of the file:

	cytonViewer-1.2/data/cyton_config.txt

and

	cytonViewer-1.2/data/cyton_low_rate_config.txt

with the correct serial device used.


The cyton_low_rate_test_config.txt is only used when running the cytonControlExample[_render] example.  It is used to slow the arm down when performing checks.  A backup copy of the original shippped file (Copy of cyton_config.txt) is included in case the original file becomes corrupted.


Linux-specific notes
====================

The viewer application is located in cytonViewer-1.2/bin/cytonViewer.  A pre-staging script is included (run.sh) to properly set the library search path.

* Under certain circumstances, if the cytonViewer is run without hardware connected to the configured serial port, then the viewer may not shutdown properly.  This is due to the software attempting to cleanly disconnect the serial port (which is not available or improperly configured).  Manually stopping the application (Ctrl-C in the shell) is required in this case.
