Batch Files
Click the
Batch Files
button at the top of the GUI to display the
Batch Command Sequence
panel as
shown in
. If the
Enable Command Logging
box is checked, the panel will display all the
commands the user clicks on the GUI. When clicking the
Save Batch File
button, the content that is in the
panel is saved to a text file containing the command descriptor followed by the command data. This batch
file can then be re-loaded at a later time using the
Load Batch File
button and executed or it can be added
to the firmware to be executed using the
Batch files Stored in the EVM
group box. This group box lists all
the batch files currently in the firmware.

3.7.1 Execute Batch File
The DLPC900 firmware has the option to store batch files within the firmware. These batch files contain
commands that are executed to perform some sequence of settings without the user or host performing
these commands. If the firmware contains batch files, the GUI will query the batch file names and list them
in the
Batch Command Sequence
panel within the
Batch Files Stored in the EVM
group box. The user can
then choose a batch file from the list to execute it.
The user can also designate a default batch file to be executed during the DLPC900 power-up sequence
when the power is applied. For example, if the LEDs are to remain off after power has been applied to the
EVM, a batch file can be created with the commands to turn the LEDs off, and then update the firmware
with this batch file as the default. The updated firmware can then be uploaded to the EVM. The next time
the power is applied to the EVM, the LEDs will be disabled from turning on. See the DLPC900
Programmers Guide for the batch file commands in Appendix B for a complete list of commands that can
be used within a batch file.
