The NcMultiSensorExample application is pre-loaded on the FT 5000 EVBs and runs
in Interoperable Self-Installation (ISI) mode by default. You install and connect this
example application and the other examples using the LonMaker tool, or using the
ISI protocol. See the FT 5000 EVB Examples Guide for more information on using
these example applications.
For more information on the FT 5000 EVB, including how to use the I/O components,

3. Connect the PL 3150 and PL 3170 EVBs to the MiniGizmo I/O Boards using the
included MiniGizmo ribbon cables.
4. Connect the barrel connectors of two of the included power supplies into the barrel
jacks on the PL 3150 and PL 3170 EVBs, connect the power supplies to the included

coupling.
