Auxiliary Commands:

Typing a comma (“,”) repeats the command issued from the previous command line. This is very helpful when
examining the value at a certain address over time, such as the CE DRAM address for the temperature (0x40).

The slash (“/”) is useful to separate comments from commands when sending macro text files via the serial in-
terface. All characters in a line after the slash are ignored.

Commands controlling the CE, TMUX and the RTM:

C

COMPUTE ENGINE,
MEMORY, AND CALIBRA-
TION CONTROL

Comment

Description:

Allows the user to enable and configure the compute engine, store and recall configurations, and
initiate calibration.

Usage:

C [option] [argument]

Command

CEn

Compute Engine Enable (1

 Enable,

0

 Disable)

CTn.m

Selects the signal for the TMUX output pins (n = 1 for

CLB

Start auto-calibration based on voltage (MPU address 0x17,
current (MPU 0x18), and duration (MPU 0x16) in seconds.

CLC

Apply machine-readable calibration control (Intel Hex-
Records).

CPA

Start the accumulating periodic pulse counters.

CPC

Clear the pulse counters
