TMS320F28379D: SCPI commands using TMS320F28379D

Part Number: TMS320F28379D


Hello, 

I apologize for asking a very basic question. I am new to this. 

I currently developed a software application that can control multiple lab devices (Grid simulator, Dc power supply, Load Bank, etc) using SCPI commands being sent over USB. This application works just fine. The problem with this approach is that it requires a PC to run the application. 

So I am considering replacing the PC with TMS320F28379D. I see from the datasheet that it has a USB 2.0 port. I plan on using a USB hub to increase the connections so that I can hook up multiple USB controller lab equipment. Is this possible? 

Also, to send SCPI commands to the devices from the PC, I would have to install IVI-VisaCOM drivers and use them as a reference in my software application. How would I do this if I replace the PC with 

TMS320F28379D? 
Thank you

    Yes this is possible. The f2837x USB in Host mode can be used for point-to-point communications or for communicating with multiple devices when connected through a Hub.

    I'm not familiar with SCPI commands, but you'd likely have to match the protocol and commands being sent over USB. i.e. write your own driver for the SCPI protocol / handling.

    Best,
