GETTING STARTED.
4.1.
Overview of PlayerLW and PlayerLWm applications
PlayerLW and PlayerLWm allow you to manage and control HDM850 and HDM950 boards.
The applications are based on Livewire technology and use XML configuration files to set runtime
environment. The only difference between the applications is that PlayerLWm runs each board in a
single separate process, which name is AssemblyServer.exe whereas PlayerLW runs the board in its
process. Realisation of PlayerLWm is mainly used for multi-board system because every board
commits more than 1Gb memory in User Mode it becomes impossible to run two or more boards in
one process.
To use PlayerLW(m) you must first perform the following operations:
1
Install the board in your system (page 7).
2
Install the driver and all the dll from the pack (page 10).
3
Run PlayerLW(m) and Configure the environment.
4.2.
Configure PlayerLW(m)
By default PlayerLW(m) runs with one ActiveProfile.xml. If there is only one board in the
system, PlayerLW(m) runs the board. If two or more, PlayerLW(m) runs the board which has been
first detected in the system during installation. Which board is the first depends on the system. There
is a type of motherboards where placement of PCI-E sockets is not consecutive so a board in the
middle socket can be detected first.
Run One Board.
-
Run PlayerLW.exe
-
Open [Board Selection] menu, press [Select Board] in the [Decode Tab].
-
Choose desirable board from the list.
Run Multi-Board.
Create a copy of ActiveProfile.xml for every board that needs to be started.
-
Run PlayerLWm.exe.
-
If you don’t want to use default ActiveProfile close it. Closing the active profile the board is
released and gets status [Not Used] in the board selection menu.
