Texas Instruments TLV320AIC12KEVMB-K appendix Command Line Interface Tab

Figure 13. Command Line Interface Tab

A script is loaded into the command buffer, either by operating the controls on the other tabs or by loading a script file or preset.

When executed, either by loading commands from other tabs, loading a preset or pushing the Execute Command Buffer button, an array containing executed commands will be displayed on the Command History tab. Additionally, the return packet of data which results from the last command executed will be displayed in the USB-MODEVM Data Packet tab. The logging function, described below, can be used to see the results after every executed command.

The File menu (Figure 14) provides some options for working with scripts. The first option, Open Command File..., loads a command file script into the command buffer. This script can then be executed by pressing the Execute Command Buffer button.

The second option, Save Command File..., saves the contents of the command buffer into a file.

The third option is Log Script and Results..., which opens a file save dialog box. The user can choose a location for a log file to be written using the file save dialog. When the Execute Command Buffer button is pressed, the script will run and the script, along with resulting data read back during the script, will be saved to the file specified. The log file is a standard text file which can be opened with any text editor, and looks much like the source script file, but with the additional information of the result of each script command executed.

The third menu item is a submenu of Recently Opened Files. This list is simply a list of script files that have previously been opened, allowing fast access to commonly-used script files. The final menu item is Exit, which terminates the TLV320AIC12K/14K Evaluation Tool software.
