Does sciSend produce LF's automatically

Thomas Dillon

I have two applications for the TMS570 (20216) and in one instance the calls to sciSend deliver only the characters included in the call, such as:

sciSend(sciREG1, 8, (unsigned char *) Errors);

In this instance there are 4 (2 byte) values contained in "Errors" and the values are displayed consecutively on the same line in the terminal window.

In a second program the same code will produce a line feed after each value is displayed. BTW, both programs use the call to sciInit(), but is it possible that one is setup to produce the LF's automatically and one is not?

Hi Tom,

Received your post and will have one of our engineers get back with you shortly.

Thanks Brian ... The reason I ask is that both programs feed into LabVIEW and I want the behavior of the packet producers to be the same so the LabVIEW program does not have to know and react to the differences.

Tom,

This function call only send over 8 raw data bytes to terminal. You may want to check the display settings in your terminal.

Thanks and regards,

Hello Zhaohong!!

Can you suggest what specific settings to check in the terminal window? I believe I am setting up the same terminal window in CCS4.2 in a consistent way, whether I am running program 1 or program 2.

Zhaohong,

I found my problem is in the data. The values being displayed with the sciSend function are sometimes '0A' which are interpreted as LF.
