* Build the application with Qt Creator
## Building the MCU firmware:
* Generating initialization code (only required when changes to CubeMX have been made):
* Open Software/VNA_embedded/VNA_embedded.ioc with CubeMX
* Click "Generate Code"
* Importing the project (only has to be done once):
* Open SW4STM32 with the workspace set to Software/
* Open STM32CubeIDE with the workspace set to Software/
* Import the project: File > Import... > General > Exisiting Projects into Workspace > Select root directory (should already be set to Software/) > Select the "VNA_embedded" project > Finish
* Build project: Project > Build Project
* Flashing/Debugging the MCU (only required once for a new hardware or when debugging):
* Create build configuration if it doesn't exist alreay: Run > Run configurations > Create new "Ac6 STM32 Debugging" > In tab "Main" select the compiled .elf-file
* Create build configuration if it doesn't exist alreay: Run > Run configurations > Create new "STM32 Cortex-M C/C++ Application" > In tab "Main" select the compiled .elf-file
* Connect to the MCU with an ST-Link and the SWD pads on the PCB (requires removing the aluminium enclosure)
* Flash/debug: Run > Run or Run > Debug
