4.4 Command-Line Interface Panel

The Command-Line Interface panel provides a means to communicate with the TLV320ADC3101 using

a simple scripting language (described in Section G.3). The TAS1020B USB Controller (located on the

USB-MODEVM motherboard) handles all communication between the PC and the TLV320ADC3101.

A script is loaded into the Command Buffer (Figure 17), either by loading a script file using the File menu

or by pasting text from the clipboard using the Ctrl-V key combination.

When the command buffer is executed, the return data packets that result from each individual command

are displayed in the Command History control. This control is an array (with a maximum size of 100

elements) that contains information about each command. The INTERFACE box displays the interface

used for a particular command in the Command History array. The COMMAND box displays the type of

command executed (i.e., write, read) for a particular interface. The FLAG RETRIES box displays the

number of read iterations performed by a Wait for Flag command (see Section G.3 for details). The

command.

The Information tab provides additional information related to the Command History as well as

additional settings. The Syntax and Examples tabs provide useful information related to the scripting

language.

The File menu provides some options for working with scripts. The first option, Open Script File..., loads a

command file script into the command buffer. This script can then be executed by pressing the Execute

Command Buffer button. The contents of the Command Buffer can be saved using the Save Script

File... option.

Both the Command Buffer and Command History can be cleared by clicking their corresponding Clear

buttons.
