1.7. Writing Your Own Interface Software
The evaluation board comes with software and an
RS-232 cable to link the evaluation board to the
PC. The executable software was developed with
Tables 2 through 5 list the RS-232 commands used
to communicate between the PC and the microcon-
troller. To develop additional code to communi-
Lab Windows/CVITM and meant to run under Win- cate to the evaluation board via RS-232, the
dowsTM 3.1 or later. After installing the software,
read the readme.txt file for last minute changes in
following applies: to write to an internal ADC reg-
ister, choose the appropriate write command byte
the software. Additionally, Section 2., Part II: Soft- (See Table 2), and transmit it LSB first. Then,
ware further details how to install and use the soft- transmit the three data bytes lowest order byte (bits
ware
7-0) first with the LSB of each byte transmitted
first. These three data bytes provide the 24-bits of
information to be written to the desired register.
To read from an internal register, choose the appro-
priate read command byte and transmit it LSB first.
Then, the microcontroller automatically acquires the
ADC’s register contents and returns the 24-bits of
information. The returned data is transmitted lowest
order byte first with the LSB of each byte transmit-
ted first.
