MCP2200
2.3.1
SIMPLE I/O DLL CALLS
2.3
Simple Configuration and I/O DLL
Table 2-2 lists the functions provided by the DLL to
allow the configuration of the device and control of the
I/O.
To help the user develop a custom configurator,
Microchip provides a DLL that uses Microsoft®.NET
Framework 3.5. There is documentation about drivers
and utilities on the MCP2200 product page at
www.microchip.com (in the Software section) with
information on associating the DLL with a Visual C++
project.

Section 2.3.1.1
Section 2.3.1.2
bool SimpleIOClass::ConfigureIO (unsigned char IOMap)
bool SimpleIOClass::ConfigureIoDefaultOutput(unsigned char ucIoMap, unsigned char ucDefValue
)
Section 2.3.1.3
bool SimpleIOClass::ConfigureMCP2200 (unsigned char IOMap, unsigned long BaudRateParam, unsigned
int RxLEDMode, unsigned int TxLEDMode, bool FLOW, bool ULOAD,bool SSPND)

Section 2.3.1.5
Note 1: Prior to any DLL API usage, a call to the InitMCP2200()function is needed. This function is the only
initialization function in the presented DLL.
2: The configuration only needs to be set a single time – it is stored in NVM.
