Example Summary

This application demonstrates a USS SW example with UART support

Peripherals & Pin Assignments

• UART This interface is used to output the USS SW Library results (ATOF, DTOF, VFR)

Board Resources & Jumper Settings

Please refer to the development board’s Hardware User’s Guide.

Python 3.X is required for this example. To install Python download the latest version at https://www.python.org/downloads/release

Example Usage

• Open a serial session (e.g. PuTTY, etc.) to the appropriate COM port.
  • The COM port can be determined via Device Manager in Windows or via ls /dev/tty* in Linux.

• The connection should have the following settings:

   Baud-rate:     115200
   Data bits:          8
   Stop bits:          1
   Parity:          None
   Flow Control:    None

• Run the USS SW Lib template example. It captures USS measurements once a second and sends the USS SW results via the UART peripheral.

• Save the serial session data to a CSV file, and use the script below to convert the hexidecimal data to exponential format.

• The example uses a Python script to decode the hexidecimal result to exponential format. The UART parser script is found in <USS_INSTALL_DIR>/tools/examples/uart_parse.py

• Run the uart_parser python script

   python uart_parser.py <input_csv_file> <output_csv_file>
