The following is a sample DF1 program written in C. The program
configures the host computer’s serial port for 9600 Baud communications.
The program then displays a menu which prompts the user to select one of
the following operations:
0. Echo the word “HELLO” to test the communications port.
1. Trigger the CVIM module to perform an inspection using toolset #1.
2. Read the discrete bit results for toolset 1.
3. Read the results block #1 for toolset 1.
4. Read gage #1 statistics for toolset 1.
5. Trigger the CVIM module to perform an inspection using toolset #2.
6. Read the discrete bit results for toolset 2.
7. Read the results block #1 for toolset 2.
8. Read gage #1 statistics for toolset 2.
9. Read configuration block n.
10.. Write configuration block n.
11.. Change display to results page, toolset 1.
12. Page up, toolset 1 display.
13. Page down, toolset 1 display.
14.. Change display to results page, toolset 2.
15. Page up, toolset 2 display.
16. Page down, toolset 2 display.
The program demonstrates a simple implementation of the DF1 protocol.
Your actual application program may require some enhancements such as
increased error checking or time–out conventions.
The sample program begins on the next page.
