Starterware/TSW1400EVM: Custom data not being read TSW1400 and TSW30SH84

Part Number: TSW1400EVM

Tool/software: Starterware

Hello,

I have been trying to use the attached custom data with the high speed data converter pro  and cannot see any signal being sent. I have no idea what has been going wrong and have tried multiple data files. Any insight as to why this custom file may not be working would really be appreciated. Also i'm convinced it is not my settings in the TSW1400 and TSW30SH84 because I have gotten every single test file to transmit correctly. 

Thank you,

Josh Johnson

  • Josh,

    The file you attached is not the correct format.  The data you attached is an xls format which is not understood by HSDC Pro.  You need to have a 2 column txt file like the files in the test files dir.  They need to be .csv files, but you can open them in any text editor or in excel.  The XLS will not work.

    If you have 2 column variables a and b, then you can use the following command in matlab

    csvwrite('outfile.csv',[a b]);

    Please have a look at the Test files and the xls you sent, you can see it will not work as it is not the same format.  Plus XLS is encoded and is not straight txt which cannot be read in by HSDC Pro.

    Here is a screen shot of your xls file and the .csv test file in excel.  You should also be able to open the .csv file in any text editor (wordpad) and it will show comma separated values.

  • Ken,

    We actually have a csv file of this same xls file I uploaded I just uploaded as a xls in this forum so that you could see my data points (since you can't upload .csv)  to see if there is an error with the format. Attached is a screenshot of the original file we tried in .csv. We tried .csv many times and still seem receive no signs that the data has been sent, but the HSDC pro has no problem compiling our .csv files.

    Could I email you the .csv that we have been trying? Because I am really struggling with this on the HSDC pro and have been trying to understand where we are going wrong this entire week.

  • Josh,

    I believe I already provided the answers to your problem via email. In essence your file is not csv formatted.
