5.3 Scripting Exercise

This exercise will familiarize the user with scripting fundamentals of the JI-300.

The JI-300 application provided two script functions: Import and Export. Import reads a script file into the I2C Message List and Export writes I2C messages from the Message List to a script file. These functions are located at the File tab at the main window bar.

The best way to get started creating scripts is to first create a sample I2C message using the standard I2C message entry method (i.e. Add Message Window). This I2C message (or messages) will be used as a prototype or model for other I2C messages that need to be created. Next, export this message using the Export function to create a script file. Using a text editor, open the script file and begin editing. Simply cut, paste, and copy I2C messages to change the desired message parameter(s) (i.e. slave address, direction, data bytes, message function, etc.) Finally, import (using the Import function) the newly created script file into the JI-300 application to check for syntax error, and to execute messages.

Follow the steps below to begin the scripting exercise.

1. Begin by launching the JI-300 host adapter application.

2. At the main window, click the Add Message button to open the Add I2C Message window.

3. Add the following two messages to the Message List (see section 2.4, step 5 for help in adding messages)

1. a. Message Type: Write b. Slave Address: A0 c. Data: 20, 30, 31, 32, 33 d. Remove Stop: No

2. a. Message Type: Read b. Slave Address: A1 c. Read Count: 4 d. Remove Stop: No

4. When complete, verify that the message list has been populated as shown below:

MSG # Addr N/S R/W Data ASCII Status

001 A0 W 20 30 31 32 33 0123

002 A1 R

XX XX XX XX

5. Next, create a script file by clicking on the Export function. This function is located beneath the File tab at the main window bar. Click File, followed by Export, followed by I2C Messages.
