8.5.1.2Command Files
The command file is a text file that can be generated using any common editor; however, it must be saved as plain text. Command files are especially useful for quickly switching between the various system configurations. These .CMD files are unrelated to the typical WindowsTM .CMD files.
A default command file has been provided on the CD. This command file should contain most of the desired setups. This command file is located at:
c:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\WinVCC4\TVP5160\Initialization Files\Initialize.cmd
A command file can contain up to 250 data sets. A data set is a set of register settings to initialize the video decoder and/or video encoder for a particular video mode. Each data set includes a description that is displayed in one row of the dataset descriptions list. The register settings may be located in the command file itself and/or may be stored in separate include file(s) (with an .INC file extension) and be included into the command file using the INCLUDE statement.
