After the application is started, the state of the connection with the MCP2210 is shown
in the Status Messages section (lower left corner of the screen).
The user can establish the GP configuration. The GPs can be used as chip select pins.
Each GP Active and Idle value can be established by selecting the appropriate check
boxes, or by directly supplying the correct value in the GP Direct Settings section. The
same behavior applies to the GP designation (the GP designation can be established
by clicking the appropriate radio button, or by directly supplying the GP designation
value in the GP Settings Direct Values section).
The SPI settings pertaining to the needed SPI transfer can be established in the SPI
Parameters section.
The data to be sent goes in the
Tx Data
field. To send the data to the SPI slave device,
click the
SPI Transfer Data
button on the lower-right side of the screen. The data
received from the SPI slave device is displayed in the
Rx Data
field.
The user data can be supplied in either HEX or Decimal mode. This can be accom-
plished by selecting the HEX mode check box. The data in the
Tx
and
Rx Data
fields
will be displayed in HEX or Decimal.
