13704PLAY
13704PLAY is a utility which allows the user to easily read/write the S1D13704 registers,
Look-up Table and display memory.
The user interface for 13704PLAY is similar to the DOS DEBUG program; commands are
received from the standard input device, and output is sent to the standard output device
(console for Intel and terminal for embedded platforms). This utility requires the target
platform to support standard I/O.
13704PLAY commands can be entered interactively using a keyboard/monitor or they can
be executed from a script file. Scripting is a powerful feature which allows command
sequences played back from a file thus avoiding having to retype lengthy sequences.
13704PLAY must be configured to work with each different hardware platform. Consult
documentation for the program 13704CFG.EXE which can be used to configure
13704PLAY.
This software is designed to work with a variety of embedded and personal computer (PC)
environments. For embedded environments the model employed is that of host.target. It is
assumed that the system has a means of downloading software from the host to the target
platform. Typically this is done by a serial communication link. Alternative methods
include EPROM, parallel port connection or network connection. It is beyond the scope of
this document to provide support for target/host configurations.
