 # TMTC Commander EIVE
 
+This application can be used to test the EIVE On-Board Software. Furthermore, it can
+also be used to retrieve all sorts of telemetry data like housekeeping data.
+
+It is recommended to use this application with a virtual environment.
+The [virtual environemnt](#venv) chapter describes how to set one up.
+
+The configuration file can currently be found at `tmtc_conf.json`. It caches settings
+like the default communication interface or parameters like the TCP port when using the TCP
+communication interface.
+
+# Examples
+
+Assuming you are running in a virtual environment
+
+Run CLI mode
+
+```sh
+./tmtccli.py
+```
+
+Run GUI mode
+
+```sh
