    Hello Jose,

    Thank you for your post. Could you be more specific about how you would like to use the TeraTerm application with the MSP-GANG? There are several ways of controlling the MSP-GANG, and I would recommend using our GUI. However, you could use a script to control the MSP-GANG as well.

    I'd recommend referring to Section 2.1 in the MSP-GANG User's Guide for the various programming methods.

    • Programming Using Interactive Mode
    • Programming From Image
    • Programming From Script
    • Programming in Standalone Mode

    Hopefully this helps!

    Regards,

    Hi James, thanks for you replay. I want to use this msp-gang for production line just for verify the programm that was loaded in a previuos station.
    i just want let the operator press start in a interface window(from labview or VB) and wait for the result bad or good.Using GUI or intercative could be risk for erase or program different image.

    This a message from Katie Pier.
    Instead of using a terminal software to send the commands, you could use any coding environment that allows you to access COM ports, and write a program to send and handle the above commands automatically.

    Thanks,

    Hi Jose,

    You can use the DLL that comes with the MSP-GANG to write your own program that makes use of the COM ports. You don't necessarily need to use something like TeraTerm. There are DLL examples included with the MSP-GANG software in the same install location as the GUI, C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\MSP-GANG\Examples. There are examples written in C, C++, and C#. You can make this program do anything you would like. The DLL commands are described in the MSP-GANG user's guide www.ti.com/.../slau358.

    Regards,
    Katie
