instructions.

in a terminal/console.
PC side:

Run the Visual Analog IIO Plugin installer available in the
Downloads section.
Fill the Server IP Address field of the plugin configuration panel, with the IP address of the target.
User Guide
To use the plugin, drag the IIO Client element onto the canvas surface. The element can be found on the left side of the screen, in the Components tree view, under the Board Interfaces category.
A successful network connection to the remote target will make the Data section of the configuration panel become active. There are a number of configurations that can be made through the plugin:
A click on the OK button will use the above properties to configure the device and then close the configuration panel. A click on the Apply button will configure the device immediately but keep the configuration panel open. A click on the Cancel button will close the configuration panel without configuring the device and without remembering the latest user changes.
