User’s Manual
Filter Coefficient Loader
Chapter III
9. Port: Use this control to select the communication port through which data will flow.
Select a number starting from 1 for the communication port one up to 32 for the communi-
cation port thirty-two. The selection must be made before the loading of coefficients is
started. The default value shown at startup is 1. See the operating system’s manuals for
the PC for instructions on how to configure higher number ports.
10. Parity: Use this control to select the parity mode for the selected communication port.
For the SPPDF-01 parity must be "None". Select None for no parity,
11. Data: Use this control to select the number of data bits for the selected communication
port. For the SPPDF-01 the data (bits) must be set to "8".
12. Stop: Use this control to select the number of stop bits for the selected communication
port. For the SPP environment the stop (bits) must be "1".
13. Baud Rate: Use this control to select the baud rate for the selected communication port.
For the SPPDF-01 environment the baud rate must be set to "9600".
14. Out Buffer Size: Use this control to enter a numeric value that specifies the size of the
output queue for the selected communication port. This number is not limited to a specific
range of values. A valid output buffer size value must be entered before the loading
of coefficients. Default is 512 bytes.
15. In Buffer Size: This control enters a numeric value that specifies the size of the input
queue for the selected communication port. This number is not limited to a specific range
of values. A valid input buffer size value must be entered before the loading of coeffi-
cients. Default is 512 bytes.
3.3.4 Group D, Message Group (Items 16 – 18): contains an indicator that shows system sta-
tus, and generation process information for specific cases. This group also presents con-
trols’ (tooltips) about functional characteristics and a progress bar for relative process
completion at specific instances.
16. Message Text Box: This window continuously shows messages and process status con-
ditions. It presents next step usage messages to aid with user-system interaction. It
serves as a tool to obtain sequential information about the system status and coefficient
loading process.
17. Tooltip Indicator: Position the cursor on top of a status line or message in the status win-
dow to obtain next step process instructions in a drop down text box. Putting the cursor
over any control or indicator in the FCL, GUI panel provides a short description of that
control. Use this tool to learn about the control or indicator function before it is used.
3.3.5 Group E, Command Group (Items 18 – 21): allows the user to initiate certain
process/system commands.
18. Program Command Button: This command button starts the filter set/sets of coefficient
loading process utilizing the selected parameters. This starts the translation, formatting
and loading process through the "software plug (Appendix B)". After successful com-
pletion, the coefficients will reside in the SPPDM-01 external memory. This command will
only execute after all required parameters have been entered and validated.
