Scripting
13705PLAY can be driven by a script file. This is useful when:
there is no standard display output to monitor command entry and results.
various registers must be quickly changed faster than can achieved by typing.
The same series of keystrokes is being entered time and again.
A script file is an ASCII text file with on e 13705PLAY command per line. All scri pts must
end with a “q” (quit) command in order t o return control to the operating system. The semi-
colon is used as a comment delimitor. Everything on a line after the semi-colon will be
ignored.
On a PC platform, a typical script command line is: “13705PLAY < dumpregs.scr >
results”.
This causes the script file “dumpregs.scr” to be interpreted and the results to be sent to the
file “results.”
Example 1: The script file “dumpregs.scr” can be created with and text editor and will look
like the following:
; This file initializes the S1D13705 and reads the registers
i ; Initialize the registers.
xa ; Dump all the registers
la ; And the LUT
q ; Exit
Comments
All numeric values are considered to be hexadecimal unless identified otherwise. For
example, 10 = 10h = 16 decimal; 10t = 10 decimal; 010b = 2 decimal.
Redirecting commands from a script file (PC platform) allows those commands to be
executed as though they were typed.
