The MSP430 Flash Programmer software package contains all required files to remotely control
programmer from a software application. When software package is installed then by default the
DLL file, library file and header file are located in:
C:\Program Files\Elprotronic\MSP430\USB FlashPro430\API-DLL
MSP430FPA.dll - Multi-FPA selection/distribution DLL
MSP430FPA1.dll - DLL for Elprotronic’s USB-MSP430-FPA
MSPFET430UIF1.dll - DLL fro TI’s MSP-FET430UIF
MSPPrg-Dll.h - header file for MS VC++
MSPPrg-Dos-Dll.h - header file for Borland, DOS etc.
MSP430FPA-BC.lib - lib file for Borland VC++
MSP430FPA.lib - lib file for MS VC++
config.ini - default configuration file for the FPAs
FPAs-setup.ini - FPAs- vs USB / UIF ports configuration file
or
C:\Program Files\Elprotronic\MSP430\FET-Pro430\API-DLL
MSP430FPA.dll - Multi-FPA selection/distribution DLL
MSPFET430UIF1.dll - DLL fro TI’s MSP-FET430UIF
MSPPrg-Dll.h - header file for C++
MSPPrg-Dos-Dll.h - header file for Borland, DOS etc.
MSP430FPA.lib - lib file for MS VC++
MSP430FPA-BC.lib - lib file for Borland VC++
config.ini - default configuration file for the FPAs
FPAs-setup.ini - FPAs- vs UIF ports configuration file
The API-DLL package in the USB FlashPro430 and in the FET-Pro430 subdirectories are exactly
the same. However for the simplicity the dll file for the USB-MSP430-FPA adapter is not included
in the FET-Pro430 package, since the only MSP-FET430UIF adapter will be used. Make sure that
your application software will not call the USB-MSP430-FPA adapter if the dll for this adapter is
not present. When the USB-MSP430-FPA adapter is used, then the package from the first
subdirectory that contains the MSP430FPA1.dll for the USB-MSP430-FPA adapter should be used.
In this package the MSPFET430UIF1.dll for the MSP-FET430UIF adapter is also included and
allows to use the USB-MSP430-FPA adapter (or adapters) only, the MSP-FET430UIF adapter or
both type of adapters at the same time. The entry dll (MSP430FPA.dll - dll selector) is selecting the
desired dll vs used adapter.
The entry dll (MSP430FPA.dll) contains two groups of the same functions used in C++
application and Visual Basic applications All procedure names used in the Visual Basic are starting
