It's very easy to begin using the Depot Tool. This example shows how to perform the APX Controller Board Initialization operation in three steps.
However, before you can begin using the Depot Tool, you must:

• Register with the Depot Tool

• Install the Depot Tool Client application

APX Example: Create Default Codeplug

Step 1: Start the Depot Tool Client and Read a Radio

You can access the Depot Tool Client from the start menu or the desktop by clicking on this icon:

Once the Depot Tool Client begins, navigate to the Create Default Codeplug page in APX section from the link on the Home Page.
You can then plug in a radio to the USB port and click on the "Read Radio" option from the Choose Option combobox.
Then, click the Read Radio button. After the radio is read, the rest of the fields will appear and you will be able to click on the Submit Job button.

Click on the Results tab. You should see a row in the table with the name of the operation that you entered in step 1.
Job status is refreshed automatically, so after a while, the status should be set to Completed.
At the end of the job details, three buttons are visible: Download button, Write button, and Remove button.
