iPort Message Center for Windows

Introduction to Message Center

The iPort Message Center supports I2C Master Transmit and Receive activities for all versions of the iPort I2C Bus Host Adapter. With this program you can create, save, and execute scripts of I2C Master messages.

The MCC iPort Message Center Software, when used with an MCC iPort allows a PC to become an I2C Master transmitter or receiving device, sending I2C messages between the PC and one or more I2C devices across an I2C Bus.

The iPort Message Center is designed to be a simple application for experimenting with I2C messages. It provides methods to:

1.Edit a list of I2C Master Transmit or Receive Messages.

2.Save and/or Load a list of I2C Master messages to/from disk.

3.Transmit the current list of I2C Master messages, with the option to auto repeat upon completion, or send on INT assert (low). (iPort/AFM only)

Each iPort Message Center I2C message can include up to 32 bytes of 8-bit data, with an optional time delay at the completion of each message.
