8.3 What should be considered when using the DISCO-B4
device
DISCO-B4 is a device controlled by PFAL commands in the operating firmware.
Therefore, in order to create application with the DISCO-B4 device and to obtain
maximum benefit from the DISCO-B4 operating firmware, you have to build a
specific configuration inside the device. All PFAL commands can be sent to the
DISCO-B4 with the help of the Workbench software which can be free of charge
from the FALCOM's website
(
http://www.falcom.de
)
. The commands supported by
DISCO-B4 and other AVL devices are available in the manual
“SteppIII_fox_bolero_lt_PFAL_Configuration_Command_Set.pdf”
.
