TDC1000-7200 UART

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDC7200

Read that there was raw data o/p on GPIO3/4

I cannot see this - I am running FW 1.43

Do I need to set anything to enable this?

Regards.

  • Yes, you have to select the "Enable UART Stream" option in Debug tab of the GUI. Firmware v1.43 supports UART streaming capability. FYI, there's a later version of GUI and firmware on the web.

    thanks, Vishy 

  • Hi Vishy,

    I have FW REVISION 2.01, and GUI REVISION 1.2.7.1 and I am trying to get the UART streaming capability enabled.  What should the UART settings be for my Hyperterminal interface?   

    Baud Rate, Parity, Stop and Flow Control?  Is it 230400, None, 1 bit, None?

    Thanks,

    - Russ

  • Please use 115200, No parity, 1 Stop, No flow control, 8bits.

    Thanks,

    Vishy

  • Thanks Vishy,


    One more question... is the LabView code interface available?  I would like to setup the software to repeatedly trigger the "TDC7200 TOF_ONE_SHOT" button on the LabView GUI.  If the GUI is unavailable for editing, how would I go about automatically retriggering the TOF_ONE_SHOT, i.e., at a 200msec update rate?  Can you share the command structure being sent to the MSP430 on the TDC1000-GASEVM , so I replicate the "TDC7200 TOF_ONE_SHOT" button press through my own LabView .vi?

    Thanks.

  • Russ,

    This automatic retriggering function is already available in the GUI through the Graph Tab "START_GRAPH" button. The ONE_SHOT and START_GRAPH commands execute the same code in Firmware. Retriggering happens at the selected  "TRIGGER UPDATE FREQ" option in the Setup Tab. You can save data also to a file. 

    Let me know if you have questions on this.

    Thanks,

    Vishy
