This user guild is for the companion configuration manager. It's designed to create the timing and special spatial transforms for companion chips:
AP0102, AP0200, AP0201, AP0202
With sensors
AR0132, AR0136, AR0138, AR0140, AR0143, AR0147, AR0231, AR0233.
And the stacked chips
AS0142AT, AS0142ATE, AS0143AT, AS0143AT1, AS0147AT, AS0148AT

...

The companion configuration tool can be run as a Devware plugin for live updates of the companion processors or it can be launched as a standalone application. The same UI is used in either case.

The plugin can write settings directly to hardware.

The standalone application can be used to create and explore available configurations when the hardware is not available. Available here; \aptina imaging\bin\stewapp.exe
From a Command Line, you can start up the application and include the configuration file to be used.
For example; stewapp.exe -u -i <configuration.cfg>

The CLI (Command Line Interface) User Guide can be found here.

Prerequisites

You will need one of the above sensors, and AP 200 series processor and demo3 board. Use an AP0102 or AP0202 and communicate over USB if it's available. Downloading settings over Ethernet often cuts further communications and requires the hardware to be reset. Run Devware and check your configuration can be initialized and creates streaming video.
