Graphical User Interface
The below images showcase the graphical user interface for the beam steering antenna.
Below we have shown examples for the phase, amplitude and telemetry.

Phase
Users are able to view the phase,amplitude and telemetry of eachelement in the array.

The sidebar contains controls toconnect to the FPA, initialise thehardware, reset the hardware andsave the data displayed in the log.

The GUI log displays the commands
sent to the hardware and thestatus of each action the GUI has
performed.

The control window allows theuser to beam steer the array andchange the settings of individualIC's.
