Software Overview
IMPORTANT NOTE: The code has been optimized to maximize the data throughput. It was found that CSTART can be pulled low earlier than the data read instruction is performed by the DSP. This saves the 100-ns wait time in STEP 3 because the data read requires at least 100 ns. Therefore, CSTART gets pulled high directly after data read, and the interface becomes faster and gains throughput. This variation will be found in the code. The data acquisition is done in a small number of steps that explains everything inside the code.
Code verification:
To verify the software, the user must change the code in the DUALIRQ1.ASM file and save those changes. The next step is to recompile the four .ASM files by executing the AUTO.BAT batch file. If compiler and linker finish without error messages, the new output file is ready to load into the DSP program memory (e.g. with the GoDSP development tools) and to execute.
The flow chart in Figure 10 gives a general overview of the software structure (DUALIRQ1.ASM).
