3.3.4 Register Map

The register view appears when the Register icon in Figure 14 is clicked. The register view provides the register values, field values, and descriptions. The registers can be operated directly through the input check box.

Enter the desired hex value in the registers (Value column), perform a bit-wise configuration of any register fields by double-clicking on the corresponding register bit, or configure a register field by entering the desired value as hex in the Value column, binary in the Bits columns, or by using the input boxes for each field under FIELD VIEW to set values for the corresponding variables. Field View displays the description of all fields of the selected register. Each register can be read independently or all registers can be read at once by using the Read Register or Read All Registers button, respectively. The data is written to the registers in one of two ways, depending on the update mode (Immediate↓ or Deferred↓) button. Clicking the button toggles between the two modes. In Immediate mode, the register data is written immediately following a Current Value , an individual bit, or a Value change. In Deferred mode, the displayed data is written to all registers on depression of the Write Register button. Press the Read All Registers button to read back all the registers and update the values in this table. If any register value must be changed, simply double-click on the individual bit values to change the value in this table in immediate updated mode or press the Write Register button to write all the registers at a time if Deferred is selected instead of Immediate from the drop-down box. Register settings can be saved in text-file format by selecting Save Registers from the file menu. A register settings file in text-file format can be loaded and programmed automatically by selecting Load Register from the file menu.
