4.6Command tree
The command tree window contains a set of commands supported by the DVK90121 organized in groups,
sub-groups and commands. The complete structure is saved in the “ut121ComList.tv” and will be
automatically loaded by the UT121 software when started. The following picture shows an organization’s
example of the command tree window.
As an example, ‘ISO15693 Dual Subcarrier’ group contains several
commands according to Iso15693 standard. If a DVK90121 is
connected and recognized by the software, each command can be
executed separately by clicking on the ‘ ’ icon. The entire group can
also be executed by clicking on the ‘ ’ icon, in this case all
commands include into the corresponding group will be executed one
after the other. All groups may contain several sub-groups with
another set of commands. In the example, the ISO15693 group
contains two sub-groups for Single or Dual sub-carrier specific
commands.
The complete tree structure can be modified by the user and a right
click on the name of the group or sub-group opens a popup menu
with several options. Then the user can append a subgroup, delete
the entire group, append a new command into this group and move
the branch up and down in the list. It is also possible to save the
complete branch (group with its complete structure, sub-groups,
commands and register’s configuration) and to load this branch into
another group. The same menu can be opened with a right-click on
the command. Then the user can delete the command, change its position in the group and editing it.
All commands of the UT121 software are separated in two parts. The Comment part, which is a name chosen
by the user and the Command part, which is the real command send to the DVK90121. This command
cannot be completely defined by the user and should have a fixed definition part to be understood by the
firmware.
To create a new command, right-click on a group to open the popup menu and chose the ‘Append command’
line. Then enter the name (comment) of the command and press “Ok” button. The command will appear with
a red symbol ‘ ’ while the Command part has not been entered. Then, to fill in the Command part, right-click
on the command and chose the “Edit command” button.
