DATA LOGGING PROGRAM FOR TESTING ST7 APPLICATIONS VIA ICC

2 PC SOFTWARE

The software on the PC side has been created in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 re-using DLLs from

the STVP7 software. It can handle all the ST7 devices supporting ICC protocol, except the

USB family devices. Prior to running the PC software, you must install STVP7 on your PC and

program your device with your application code and the option bytes. The executable for the

PC software has been provided. When you execute this file, you will be prompted for certain

parameters. Section 4 of this application note describes these parameters, two of which deter-

mine whether the data logging process is to be performed with the option bytes enabled or dis-

abled. Make sure that the ST7 is driven by the clock source corresponding to this selection.

Please note that this package is compatible with STVP7 1.9.0 and uses the system drivers

corresponding to this version. In case the version of STVP7 installed on your system is a dif-

ferent one, please replace the dll files with the corresponding ones from the STVP7

folder(..\stm\st7toolchain\stvp7).

The PC software flowchart is given in Figure 2.
