All other buttons used in the demo program are calling one API-DLL function per one button.
For example button ‘Autoprogram’ is calling
F_Autoprogram(1);
function, button ‘Open Target’ is calling
F_OpenTarget();
function etc. Using any button pressing sequence it is possible to test how the application dll is
responding for these combinations. Some of the buttons assigning extra data to be able to simulate
some write/erase procedures as follows.
* button ‘Erase segment’ allows to erase segment located on address 0x1000 to 0x107F.
* button ‘Blank Check Segm.’ allows to check the segment defined in the ‘Erase segment’
button.
* button ‘Write Flash Block’ allows to write block data
0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08
to flash location starting from 0x1020.
* button ‘Read Flash Block’ allows to read data from flash addresses 0x1000 to 0x103F.
When the check mark named ‘Use address/data from example (see manual) ’ in the ‘Edit’ frame
is unmarked, then edit fields becomes active and addresses to the function described above can
customized and defined in the ‘RAM Address (HEX)’ or ‘Flash Address (HEX)’. Content of data
can be specified in the ‘Data (HEX)’ field. All data should be separated by white character (space).
Maximum size data should be specified in the ‘size (max 32 bytes)’ fields (RAM or Flash).
When any button related to encapsulated functions is used ( ‘Autoprogram’, ‘Erase Flash’, ‘Blank
Check’, ‘Write Flash’, ‘Verify Flash’ ) then data taken from the code file is used ( press button ‘3.
Open Code’ to take desired code data).
Described demo program allows to understand how to use the dll functions in the application
software.
When more then one adapter is connected to PC, then the Multi-FPA API-DLL feature should be
activated. Currently up to 64 adapters can be controlled from one application software. For simplicity
the presented demo program can control up to eight adapters only. The Multi-FPA API-DLL can
assign specified FPA serial number to desired FPA index or specified COM port or eq. serial number
for the MSP-FET430UIF, where index can be from 1 up to 64 (1 to 8 in presented demo software).
At the startup software is scanning all available FPAs and MSP-FET430UIFs and assigning adapters
according to defined FPA’s serial number list. See the F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs(..) Instruction for
details. Configuration will be always the same regardless used the FPA vs USB port location. All
