C™ DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM

Select the 28-Pin Demo I

C demonstration by clicking on Demo Boards > 28 Pin Demo

C from the menu bar. The 28-Pin Demo I

C demonstration window will be displayed

as shown in Figure 2-3.

The Real-Time Clock (RTC) will be displayed first. Note the tabs to select between the

RTC, EEPROM and ADC demonstrations. The demonstration program will constantly

poll the 28-Pin Demo Board and display the contents of the real-time clock and the

ADC.

2.7.1 Real-Time Clock (RTC)

Clicking on the Real-Time Clock tab will display calendar and clock contents of the

real-time clock function running on the 28-Pin Demo Board. The 28-Pin Demo Board

has been programmed to emulate a stand-alone serial I

C clock-calendar device. The

C commands are very similar to the commands used in these devices. The demon-

stration program will constantly poll the 28-Pin Demo Board and display the contents

of the real-time clock.

The Real-Time Clock window displays calendar and clock controls. Notice the date and

time when the 28-Pin Demo Board has first been powered on. The date and time start

at January 1, 2000 at midnight (12:00 AM).

The user can manually enter calendar and clock values and send the values to the

real-time clock by clicking on the Update RTC button. Or the user can click on the Set

RTC to System Time button to set the real-time clock to the date and time of the

computer.
