Nah, can't get it to connect, keeps spitting out error messages at me.
Been trying to run both from the browser GUI as well as the desktop one from Ronald but it's not cooperating.
Not sure where the fault lies, software, laptop or tester

Have you checked voltages on the uTracer? You should have +/-15, +5, and -40

Here are my notes for getting uTracerJS up and running:

The Home directory “martinmanning” has a folder called uTracerJS, containing the following:
1) uTracerJS-macos-arm64 (executable)
2) uTracerJS.txt (two lines that identify the data port):
/dev/tty.usbserial-FT1CHUY2 <this is the USB-UART cable ID>
80
3) A folder called Data, that contains the following:
The eeprom file (cal file, .csv),
The last used plot and qt configs (.csv),
Saved set-up files (.uts), and
Saved results (.utd)

To run:
Connect USB-serial adapter cable to uTracer comm port and to USB port on PC
Switch uTracer main power on
Go to uTracer JS folder, and double-click uTracerJS executable, “uTracerJS-macos-arm64”
A terminal window will open, displaying following:
