Configuration
The Engineering Tool is required for the configuration of CBMS Studio on the Raspberry PI. Each RPI will require it's own unique registration code which needs to be purchased individually. The SD card will be paired against the RPI and if it is removed and placed into another RPI the registration code will become invalid. For testing purposes a 30 day registration code can be generated and it can be upgraded to a full license at any time after a purchase has been made.

Step 5 - Connect
If you haven't already done so, download and install a copy of the Engineering Tool
and then select File - Open to connect to the Raspbery PI.
Make sure you have a monitor connected and take a note of the IP address displayed when the Raspberry PI boots. The default username is admin and there is no password.

Note : The Engineering Tool is provided free of charge.
