The File menu group provides a few common functions associated with Windows applications.
Refer to Figure 2-3
File > Open Device
Each instance of the bc635PCIcfg.exe program communicates with only one device at a time. Open
Device allows the user to open and operate any of up to four installed TFP devices. By default, the
program opens and operates using the first device in the system (Device 0). By selecting a new
device to open, the program will close the currently selected device before opening the newly
requested device. This command will also clear the interrupt mask.
Select Device 0, 1, 2 or 3 and click OK. Use Device 0 if only 1 board is installed.
File > Interrupt Start
This command allows the user to start an interrupt service routine capable of handling the selected
hardware interrupts created by the TFP module. After starting the interrupt service routine, the user
may initiate any interrupt source located under "Signals > Interrupts". For more information on inter-
rupts, see the MASK and INSTAT registers described in "MASK Register (0x18)" on page 31.
File > Exit
This command allows the user to close the device and exit the program. This command will also clear
the interrupt mask.
