iPort/AFM Quick Start

Follow these steps to start sending and receiving I2C messages:

1.Install iPort/AFM as directed in the “Installation Instructions” section of this User’s Guide.

2.Use a terminal emulator program (like the Windows Terminal Program or Windows Hyperterminal) to get started. Remember to select the correct Com Port (COM1, COM2,…) and set the terminal emulator to 19200 Baud, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, and 1 Stop Bit.

3.Enter // to get an iPort/AFM Status Report. Note: All iPort/AFM commands are terminated with a Carriage Return character. On most terminal emulators press the Enter key.

4.Enter /E1 to Enable the Echo/Prompt feature. This makes it easier for a person to interact with the iPort/AFM from a terminal.

5.Enter /F0 or /F1 to set iPort/AFM’s communications Flow Control to match your terminal.

6.Enter /Ixx (xx = 02…FE even) to set iPort/AFM’s Own I2C Slave Address.

7.Enter /O to Open the iPort/AFM Connection. The iPort/AFM does not need to be connected to an I2C Bus to open a connection.

8.Enter /Dxx (xx = 00…FE even) to select a Destination I2C Slave Address.

9.Enter /Ttext (text = ASCII or Hex-Equivalent ~00…~FF) to Master Transmit a message to the current Destination I2C Slave device.

10.Enter /Rn (n = 0…32767) to Master Read a message from the current Destination I2C Slave device.

Syntax: [CR] = Carriage Return

The following sections provide detailed information on all iPort/AFM ASCII Commands and Prompts.
