== The Basic Basics ==
The capture tool comes with a list of built-in scripts to connect to different pairs of target-scope hardwares. The easiest way to start using it is accessing the "Project"->"Example Scripts" menu and select the appropriate item in the list.
# Connect to the desired scope/target pair, using the toolbar buttons. The master button connects to both at the same time.
#* At this point, you may want to flash the desired firmware to the target, using the Programmer option in the Tools' menu.
# Once connected, both the "Scope Settings" and "Target Settings" list of parameters may expand, giving access to more advanced settings. You will have to setup set these parameters which depend on what you want to capture. It usually involves setting the following parameters:
#* Trigger Pins
#* Target IOn Pins
#* TIP: check the content of the "Example Scripts" at chipwhisperer/software/chipwhisperer/capture/scripts if you are lost.
# You may want to check if everything is working properly by clicking in the "Capture 1" button and adjusting the above settings if necessary.
# Once it is working as expected, you can set the "Generic Settings"->"Acquisition Settings"->"Number of Traces" option to the desired amount (i.e.g. 50-100) and click the "Capture M" button in the toolbar. This time the traces will be saved to the "Trace Manager" if you specified a "Trace Format".
# In order to view the saved traces, you will have to change the "Result"->"Trace Output Plot"->"Input" from the scope channel to the "Trace Manager". You may also want to change the "X Axis" temporal sequence from Samples to Time.
# You can also import, delete, edit or select/deselect the trace segments by opening the "Trace Manager" in the Project menu.
