3About the ATP Manager GUI Application
The M41h is operated through the Advanced Test Platform (ATP)
Manager. The ATP Manager is a GUI application that can run either on a
Windows host PC or on an external display connected to the HDMI or
DisplayPort port on the back of the M41h.
When operating from a host PC the ATP Manager application has to be
installed on the PC. When operating from an external display, a mouse
(provided) is required and a keyboard is optional but recommended. In
this case of the external display, the ATP Manager is running on the
M41h itself but the ATP Manager GUI is displayed on the external
monitor. These operational scenarios are shown below.
