The PC master software is a PC Windows®-based application providing
various kinds of support for embedded applications. It is a very efficient tool that
can be used for debugging, monitoring, and controlling the target application
and for demonstrating the board application functionality.
The embedded application target board is connected with the PC via a
standard RS-232 serial line. The communication protocol on the base level
enables the user to:
The PC master software takes advantage of these base-level functions and
enables the user to:
