TTL Output

TTL Output

Explanation

About: North Atlantic Industries Sample Application Code

This code is a sample application from North Atlantic Industries (NAI) that demonstrates how to interact with their embedded function modules, specifically for TTL output. The provided code leverages various libraries and APIs included with NAI’s Software Support Kit (SSK) and functions specifically designed to handle TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) operations. Below is a detailed walkthrough of the provided code.

Definitions and Constants - CONFIG_FILE: A constant pointer to an 8-bit signed integer representing the configuration file name. - DEF_TTL_FIRST_CHAN: Default TTL channel number set to 1.

Function Prototypes - Run_TTL_Output: Prompts the user to select a card, module, and channel, then configures and runs the TTL output if valid. - Run_TTL_Output_Start: Executes the inner menu that allows users to select a TTL channel and output state. - Print_TTL_Channel_Header: Formats and prints the header containing the channel number, mode, and output status. - Set_TTL_High: Sets the specified TTL channel state to logic 1 (high). - Set_TTL_Low: Sets the specified TTL channel state to logic 0 (low). - Set_TTL_Toggle: Toggles the TTL channel state between high and low. - Cfg_TTL_Setup: Resets and configures the specified channel for output mode.

Enumerations - enum ttl_SynchronousPreload_commands: Contains commands for TTL output states: - TTL_OUTPUT_CMD_HIGH: Command to set the TTL output to high. - TTL_OUTPUT_CMD_LOW: Command to set the TTL output to low. - TTL_OUTPUT_CMD_TOGGLE: Command to toggle the TTL output. - TTL_OUTPUT_CMD_LAST: Placeholder indicating the last command.

Main Function The main function initiates and executes the program:

  1. Configuration Loading: Calls naiapp_RunBoardMenu with the configuration file to load device configuration.

  2. User Input Loop: Repeatedly queries the user for card and module selection:

    • Card Index Query: Prompts user to input card index and verifies it.

    • Module Count & Module Number Query: Fetches module count and prompts user for the module number selection.

    • Module ID Validation: Validates the selected module ID and initiates Run_TTL_Output.

  3. Termination Query: At the end of each loop, the user is prompted to type 'Q' to quit or press Enter to restart.

Run_TTL_Output Function This function manages the TTL output operation: - Channel Count Validation: Retrieves the channel count and validates if the selected module is a TTL module. - Run TTL Output Start: If the module is valid, Run_TTL_Output_Start is called to handle the TTL operations.

Run_TTL_Output_Start Function This function manages the detailed operations for TTL output: - Channel Selection: Queries user to select a TTL channel. - Channel Configuration: Configures the selected TTL channel for first use. - Internal Power Supply: Ensures the internal power supply is used. - Command Execution Loop: Displays a command menu, takes user input, and executes the corresponding functions to set TTL states.

TTL Channel Header Printing The Print_TTL_Channel_Header function formats and prints the channel number, mode, and state (High or Low).

Configuration Setup The Cfg_TTL_Setup function resets and configures the specified channel for output mode based on the module ID.

Functions for Setting TTL States - Set_TTL_High: Sets the TTL channel state to high (logic 1). - Set_TTL_Low: Sets the TTL channel state to low (logic 0). - Set_TTL_Toggle: Toggles the TTL channel state (high to low or low to high).

Overall, the provided code demonstrates how to interactively handle TTL outputs using NAI�s embedded function modules through user inputs and predefined functions. Each part of the code is carefully orchestrated to ensure smooth read and write operations on designated TTL channels within the defined card and module constraints.
