Generic functions read and write the API-DLL’s configuration, access status messages and can instruct the FPA to power or reset the target device. The functions described in this section require that each FPA already be opened using Multi API-DLL Functions | F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs.

After the following functions have been used to configure each FPA correctly for its target device, use Data Buffer Functions to determine what code should be written during programming. Finally, Encapsulated Functions can perform the process of programming, writing, erasing, verifying, etc., according to the aforementioned settings.

1. F_Initialization
Anchor
F_Initialization
F_Initialization

General Description

Initialize FPA after it has been successfully opened using Multi API-DLL Functions | F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs. F_Initialization performs the following tasks:

...

Select which FPA to initialize, using the function Multi API-DLL Functions | F_Set_FPA_index with desired parameter (0-all, 1-64 for individual FPA). After successful initialization, call Generic Functions | F_ConfigFileLoad to read settings from file, or configure settings manually using the function Generic Functions | F_Set_Config_Value_By_Name.

For backwards compatibility, F_nitialization Initialization will call F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs(*# *) if no instances are currently opened, and perform initialization on FPA 1. If Multi API-DLL Functions | F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs was already invoked successfully then initialization is performed on the selected FPA index from the function Multi API-DLL Functions | F_Set_FPA_index.

Default config file used to perform initialization is config.ini (Use F_Use_Config_INI(FALSE) to disable automatic load of config.ini).

...

Select FPA to perform operation on using Multi API-DLL Functions | F_Set_FPA_index, index 1 to 64. Use index 0 to perform operation on all FPAs (if results differ, use Multi API-DLL Functions | F_LastStatus to get individual results).

...

2. F_Use_Config_INI

General Description

Configure Generic Functions | F_Initialization to use (default) or skip config.ini file. When skipping config.ini it is necessary to use Generic Functions | F_ConfigFileLoad or Generic Functions | F_Set_Config_Value_By_Name functions to configure the adapter.

...

Select FPA to perform operation on using Multi API-DLL Functions | F_Set_FPA_index, index 1 to 64. Use index 0 to perform operation on all FPAs (if results differ, use F_ Multi API-DLL Functions | F_LastStatus to get individual results).

...

3. F_Get_Config_Name_List
Anchor
F_Get_Config_Name_List
F_Get_Config_Name_List

General Description

Iterate over configuration parameter names, starting from index 0. Increase index until return is null character. Will return a pointer to a character array with name of parameter or null character once index is too high.

Requires the target FPA to be opened using Multi API-DLL Functions | F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs and initialized using Generic Functions | F_Initialization.

Syntax

Code Block
languagecpp
char * F_Get_Config_Name_List( INT_X index );

...

Select FPA to perform operation on using Multi API-DLL Functions | F_Set_FPA_index, index 1 to 64.

Output

char * : configuration parameter name

...

Access the current FPA’s configuration. Use Generic Functions | F_Get_Config_Name_List to get configuration parameter names, then use them as input to this function. Select input type to validate name, and get current, minimum, maximum, and default values.

Because normal return values from this function can be any value, from 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF, it is important to pick a correct fpa index (use Multi API-DLL Functions | F_Check_FPA_index to validate) and validate the configuration parameter name first (using CONFSEL_VALIDATE), before retrieving the current, minimum, maximum or default values. Unless all FPAs are to be configured identically, avoid using FPA index 0 to prevent confusion in results (when results don’t match using FPA index 0 (all FPAs) the result is simply FPA_UNMATCHED_RESULTS (-1)).

Requires the target FPA to be opened using Multi API-DLL Functions | F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs and initialized using Generic Functions | F_Initialization.

Syntax

Code Block
unsigned int  F_Get_Config_Value_By_Name(char  *name,  INT_X  type);

...

Select FPA to perform operation on using Multi API-DLL Functions | F_Set_FPA_index, index 1 to 64. Use index 0 to perform operation on all FPAs (if results differ, use Multi API-DLL Functions | F_LastStatus to get individual results).

...

  • FALSE (0) : failed name validation (CONFSEL_VALIDATE)

  • TRUE (1) : successful name validation (CONFSEL_VALIDATE)

  • any : actual parameter value, minimum and maximum bounds, and default value if not set by user/file (CONFSEL_VALUE, CONFSEL_MIN, CONFSEL_MAX, CONFSEL_DEFAULT)

  • -1 or 0xFFFFFFFF : name not found (avoid this by using CONFSEL_VALIDATE first)

  • FPA_UNMATCHED_RESULTS (-1 or 0xFFFFFFFF) : Result of operation inconsistent across all selected FPAs, refer to Multi API-DLL Functions | F LastStatus(avoid this by not using FPA index 0)_LastStatus

  • FPA_INVALID_NO (-2 or 0xFFFFFFFE) : FPA not opened with Multi API-DLL Functions | F_OpenInstancesAndFPAs or index out of range(avoid this by using F Check FPA index first)

Example

Use the example code below to read full configuration:

Code Block
languagecpp

//#define		CONFSEL_VALUE		1 
//#define		CONFSEL_MIN			2

stringstream msg;
char *tmp=NULL;
int i=0;
while((tmp = F_Get_Config_Name_List(i++)) !=  NULL && strcmp(tmp, "\0") != 0) {
	//Check if parameter name is correct, should be redundant
	if(F_Get_Config_Value_By_Name(tmp, 0)) {
		unsigned int val = F_Get_Config_Value_By_Name(tmp, 1);
		unsigned int min = F_Get_Config_Value_By_Name(tmp, 2);
		unsigned int max = F_Get_Config_Value_By_Name(tmp, 3);
		unsigned int def = F_Get_Config_Value_By_Name(tmp, 4);
		msg << tmp << "=0x" << hex << val << ", 0x" << hex << min << "<=X<=0x" << hex << max <<  "(def=0x" << hex << def << ")\r\n";
		//sanity check on current value
		if(val < min || val > max) {
			msg << "======= " << tmp << " value outside min/max =======\r\n";
			msg << "DLL failed to trim\r\n";
		}
		//sanity check on default value

General Description

Set pull-up resistor mode and current measurement sensitivity.

This function is supported only on the XStreamPro-Iso adapter. The USB-FPA 6.1 and XStream-Iso adapter will return FALSE.

Syntax

Code Block
languagecpp
INT_X	F_XS_Update_HW_State(BYTE mode, INT_X data);

Input

BYTE mode : set, or clear flag

  • MODE_XS_IO_CLR_FLAGS (0x13) - clear flag chosen in data

INT_X data : bit-wise OR of bits to affect (set or clear)

  • IO_PULLUP_EN (1) - change pull-up resistor mode, disable for current measurement

  • FORCE_ICC_LOW_SENSITIVITY (2) - Low Sensitivity only (20uA - 200mA)

  • FORCE_ICC_HI_SENSITIVITY (4) - Hi Sensitivity only (50nA - 0.6mA)

NOTE: If FORCE_ICC_LOW_SENSITIVITY and FORCE_ICC_HI_SENSITIVITY flags are cleared then adapter is in Automatic (50nA - 200mA) mode. If both flags are set, adapter will default to Low Sensitivity mode.

Automatic mode is generally preferred, but in automatic mode, around 5 samples will be lost if current fluctuations cause the adapter to switch from Hi-to-Low, or Low-to-Hi mode. If the user is only interested in measuring small currents, then setting to Hi Sensitivity is preferred. In Hi Sensitivity mode samples above 0.6mA will saturate at that value. In Low Sensitivity mode samples below 20uA will be noise.
