4.2.4 Refresh
The Refresh button, located in the bottom right-hand corner of the GUI, updates all of
the controls in the GUI with their respective values from the device. The GUI can
automatically perform this task every second if the Auto box is checked.
4.2.5 Menu Bar
File
The File menu allows users to load and save GS12070 Gearbox configurations. This is
particularly useful if the GS12070 has been optimized for a specific application.
The Configuration file is an XML file (*.xml) that lists register addresses along with their
corresponding value in hexadecimal format. Here is a sample excerpt from a
Configuration file:
<REG name="CONTROL_SLEEP" addr="0003" data="0000" />
<REG name="MISC_CTRL" addr="0004" data="0000" />
<REG name="MISC_CFG" addr="0005" data="0000" />
View
Read/write operations to the RDK are logged in the GUI. The user can view this log by
clicking the Enable Logging button in the View menu. The log can then be saved to a
text file, copied to the clipboard, cleared, or hidden.
