| 32 | +## Interface ## |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The interface with the Harp board can be done through [Bonsai](https://bonsai-rx.org/) or a dedicated GUI (Graphical User Interface). |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +In order to use this GUI, there are some software that needs to be installed: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +1 - Install the [drivers](https://bitbucket.org/fchampalimaud/downloads/downloads/UsbDriver-2.12.26.zip). |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +2 - Install the [runtime](https://bitbucket.org/fchampalimaud/downloads/downloads/Runtime-1.0.zip). |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +3 - Reboot the computer. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +4 - Install the [GUI](https://bitbucket.org/fchampalimaud/downloads/downloads/Harp%20Load%20Cells%20v1.1.0.zip). |
