adapters not specified in the desired FPA list will be ignored. Make sure that the desired list uses
correct FPAs serial numbers. The FPA serial number is printed in the FPA’s label. When the MSP-
FET430UIF is used then check the assigned port for particular adapter (use FET-Pro430 software
for it) or use the UIF definition to accept any UIF-MSP430UIF adapter. Note, that only one MSP-
FET430UIF can be used, so definition UIF can be used for simplicity.
Assume, that we are using one USB-MSP430-FPA programming adapter and one MSP-FET430UIF
adapter. In the next step, the configuration file should be created, that contains list off all FPA’s used
in the application. Using the Notepad editor open the default FPA’s configuration file ‘FPAs-
setup.ini’ taken from your destination location (copied before from Elprotronic’s directory) and write
the serial numbers or IDs of used adapters. Take a serial numbers from the FPAs labels and write
it on the desired FPAs locations FPA-1 up to FPA-8. For two adapters as above the configuration
file can use an IDs - FPA and UIF only as follows:

;-------------------------------------------------------------------
; up to eight FPA can be specified and connected via USB to PC *

; where FPA-x can be FPA-1, FPA-2, FPA-3 .... up to FPA-8 *
