4. Getting Started
4.1. Resetting the Adapter
A reset forces the adapter into a well defined state, ready for initialisation. The card uses the same reset
line as the PC so either a power up or hard reset (press the button on your PC) will suffice.
4.2. Introduction to the Utilities
The utilities supplied with the adapter contain simple DOS routines in both C and TurboBASIC, which can
be used for setup and basic communications. This is a list of the DOS utilities supplied:
C Library/Programs
Procedure or
File Name
Subroutine Name Brief Functional Description
i2c.h setup Sets user defined initial conditions.
getstatus Reads status register.
sendaddress Sends slave address, data transmission mode and start signal.
sendstop Sends stop signal.
writebyte Writes a byte of data to a previously specified address.
readbyte Reads a byte of data from a previously specified address.
restart Sends Restart and slave address of device, which is to be
communicated with, without sending a Stop.
count.c Sends a counting sequence of 0 to 99 to a seven segment
display driver.
count.exe Executable version of above.
ram.c Writes then reads back data from a series of RAM locations.
Checks for correct readback.
ram.exe Executable version of above.
setup.c Sets up typical initial conditions – Own Slave Address = AE
(Hex), SCL = 90KHz; assumes adapter’s base address = 0310
(Hex).
setup.exe Executable version of above.

FNreadbyte% Reads a byte of data from a previously specified address.
restart Sends restart and slave address of device which is to be
communicated with, without sending a Stop.
count.bas Sends a counting sequence of 0 to 99 to a seven segment
display driver.

Checks for correct readback.
tbram.exe Executable version of above.
16 bit Windows DLLs for use with Visual Basic 3.0 and Microsoft C++1.5 are included on the disc. See
Section 7.3 for a detailed description of the routines available. All library functions listed for the DOS
routines are covered. Additionally some extra multiple operation functions are supplied.
