Using XPort™Installer
You can configure the display panel for your application. Click the
Config
button (top, left
corner) and select
Set Config
. The Configuration Panel displays.
Use the text fields, list boxes and color panels to configure the display panel for your
application.
You can query the states of the pins manually by selecting
Manual
. This mode requires you
to click the
Update States
button on the display panel each time you want an update,
whether the pins are configured as Inputs or Outputs. When the configurable pins are set to
Inputs, the query can be automatic by selecting
Automat
and entering the amount of time.
Note the time is in multiples of 100ms. Click the
Default
button to reset all options to the
original states. Click
Ok
to close the configuration panel and return to the control page.
The evaluation board has LEDs that can be tied directly to the configurable pins. See
(
Configuration Switch Bank)
for more information. In order to use the LEDs with the applet,
you must set the switches on the switch bank properly. For CPI LED, SW1-2 must be in the
ON position. For CP2 LED, SW1-3 must be in the ON position. For CP3 LED, SW1-5 must
be in the ON position.
In the above example, the configurable pins have been configured as Outputs. When you
return to the control page, you can click on the
On
LED, then click the
Update states
button
and the corresponding LED on the evaluation board will turn On. For example, if you click
the
On
LED for CP1, then click the
Update states
button, the CP1 LED on the evaluation
board will turn On.
You can save the display panel configuration. Click the
Config
button (top, left corner) and
select
Save Config
. The next time the control page is opened, the saved configuration is
loaded. Use the
Load Config
option to reload the saved configuration.
