5.1.4.1.3Auto Repeat

The situation often arises, where you would like to automatically repeat a master message operation.

The Message Manager supports auto-repeat with the Auto Repeat checkbox. You can automatically repeat a master operation by checking the Auto Repeat control before clicking the Master Tx, Master Rx, or Master TxRx buttons. The master operation repeats until the Auto Repeat control is unchecked.

5.1.4.1.4Master Transmitting Data Specifying Master Tx Message Bytes

Master Tx Message Bytes is the ASCII or Hexadecimal data you want to transmit to a slave receiver device. With the Message Manager, entering master transmit data is easy. On the main application screen, click on the Master Tx Message Bytes box to open the data editor.

In the data editor, enter one or more ASCII text characters or hexadecimal data bytes. Each hexadecimal byte is entered as two ASCII-Hex characters (00 to FF) preceded by a tilde (~) character. ASCII text and hex data can be intermixed, as long as each hex byte is preceded by a tilde.

For example, to enter hex data bytes 0x00, 0x01, and 0x02, enter the characters ~00~01~02 into the text box.

Each iPort Message Manager I2C message can include up to 80 bytes of 8-bit ASCII binary data.

NOTE: The data you send may have special meaning to the receiving slave device, but to the Message Manager, and the I2C adapter, message data has no special meaning. Consult your slave device’s data sheet for details.
