LMX2492: Please post the zip of the TICS Pro GUI

darren reis

Part Number: LMX2492
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMX2594, CODELOADER, LMX2531

Can you please post the full TICS PRO source for the LMX2492? I have found the rampcalc.py file for the board, but I cannot find the device top-level python file. In this other forum you posted a zip with both a ramp and pll .py file for each of the devices. Can you please do the same for the LMX2492?

If it is not in the zip, is there another file that you can share to show the low level commands for reading and writing registers over USB? Is this a libusb sort of thing? I want to build my embedded device to 1) load in the hex output file from TICS PRO, because I have effectively defined the default settings using the GUI; 2) take API-like commands from python or similar to update a few key settings and automatically adjust the LMX registers to match. That way I can most leverage the GUI and only have to build controllers for a small number of features in the chip.

Thanks!

P.S. The TICS PRO gui is excellent. Much better than your competitor offerings and is a large part of why I'm going with the TI PLL. Great work. I love when you develop great tools to go along with your chips. Keep it up :]!!

0743.TICSPro Automation Example.xlsmDarren,

We are glad that you like our TICSPro file and glad that you have found the device files in iron python. However, we can not share the raw source code as this is TI property.

Be aware that you can automate TICSPro and call it from other programs, which might be useful to you and I am attaching an excel code that can do this.

Regards,

Dean

Dean,
Good to talk to you again, you helped me with this board back in May.
I don't mean I want the source of TICSPro executable, just the pll.py for the 2492 so I can see how the board is programmed in its entirety. Can you share this? I know I'll need to write my own embedded C code, I'd just like to build on what you've already done.
Thanks,
Darren

Darren,

Unfortunately, there is no LMX2594_PLL.py file.

In the TICSPro, we hard-coded a basic PLL architecture where we turned blocks on and off (from the previous CodeLoader) tool because we had a large number of legacy PLLs we wanted to support. For newer devices we created the "flex GUI" like the ramp tab and used it for the PLL, but the LMX2594 is the exception where we have no PLL flex GUI code.

Regards,

Dean

I need the file for the LMX2492. Does that chip have a python file that I can see?

Darren,

As stated before, there is no python code for the PLL tab, so no we can not share this.

The TICSPro source code is TI intellectual property, so no we can't share that.

That being said, the code for the Ramping tab is in python and we can share that and it's attached.

Regards,

Dean

Thanks for your help Dean. There is a lot of under the hood work going on outside of the ramp_calc python file. For instance, actually setting any of the registers is hidden, as is the other 50-75% of the register controls. I was just hoping for more insight into that. Oh well, I'll go write it for myself. Thanks for the head start at least.

Darren,

I'm actually the one who did the LMX2492 TICSPro file.

From our perspective, we give the *.py files for each of the GUIs.

For some newer PLLs (i.e. LMX2594, ...), the PLL tab is actually a flex GUI and has python code. But for older PLLs (i.e. LMX2495, LMX2531, ...), the PLL tab is actually hard coded and the LMX2492.ini file just gives the N, R, and other counters. This code was originally in CodeLoader, but we had a contractor write TICSPro. In any case, it is sort of sphagetti code, which is why we started the flex GUIs for TICSPro.

If you really want a PLL tab, you might try to use one that does have one, such as the LMX2594 or LMX2615. It's not the same part, but might be helpful.

Regards,

Dean

Dean,
Good suggestion.
And thanks for pointing out the .ini does hard loading for some of the registers, I hadn't thought about that.
Thanks!
