Apparently I missed the memo and the GANG430 programmer was obsoleted and MSPGANG released to take its place. As I was looking through the user's guide a lot of the new features seemed great, except the fact that a very useful and unfortunately for me very critical command was missing. For reference the command for the old GANG430 is GangSetSignals referenced on page 51 of its user guide SLAU101Q:
GangSetSignals
Declaration long int GangSetSignals(long int lSignals, long int lVoltage)
Description Sets specified signals at the MSP-GANG430 programmer unit’s target connector.
For information about bit definitions, see Section 2.1.6.
Arguments lSignals
Determines output signals
lVoltage
Determines logic high-level voltage of signals in hundreds of millivolts
Example lFuncReturn = GangSetSignals(0x0400, 27); // VPP at pin 17 (TEST/VPP);
VCC = 2.7 V
This function allows my production fixture to set the JTAG signals high or low in order to avoid false current measurements as those lines can leak currents in or out of my devices. Does anyone know why this command was left out of the new MSPGANG's abilities? Is there something I am not seeing in the MSPGANG's user guide SLAU358A that can perform this same task? If not, does anyone at least know where I can get some of the old GANG430s so my production abilities aren't hampered by this very inconvenient lack of a carry-over of useful functionality?
