Special > Registers
The Registers function is provided to perform direct reads and writes to the TFP registers. While most
of the functionality available through the registers can be controlled via other aspects of the con-
figurator program, this function may be useful for debugging purposes.
Special > Board Reset
The Board Reset function allows the user to reset the TFP device. This command is useful when
starting a test or in the case that unexpected behavior is observed from the card. This function is not
used during normal operation. See "Command 0x1A: Software Reset" on page 46.
Special > Autotime
The Autotime function allows the user to control the data display in the background of the main pro-
gram window. If this function is turned off, the display will stop updating but will continue to show the
reference source type.
Special > Menu
The Menu command allows the user to switch to an advanced version of the menu. See Figure 2-9.
The advanced menu selection adds Special menu options, as well as the PCI menu selection.
Warning: The advanced menu contains operations that may disable the function of the TFP.
