SOFTWARE OPERATION
4.1
OVERVIEW
Two control platforms allow the user to communicate with the Le51HE001V Evaluation Board. The
first platform is the VP Demo Board and the VP-Script program or the Voice Path Mini-PBX
software. The second platform is the ACIF2-A Hardware Board along with its accompanying
WinACIF™ software program. A third software program, WinSLAC2™, is used to calculate the
required coefficients needed by the QLSLAC device.
4.2
WINSLAC2™ SOFTWARE
The WinSLAC software models the QLSLAC device, calculates programmable coefficients for
optimizing two-wire impedance, hybrid balance and transmit and receive responses. WinSLAC also
calculates and predicts transmission performance for:
•
Two-wire Return Loss
•
Four-wire Return Loss
•
Transmit and Receive attenuation Distortion
•
Transmit and Receive path equalization
•
Two-wire Stability
For a more detailed description refer to the WinSLAC2 Software User's Guide, PID# 080779.
The VP Demo Board is one of the control platforms used for communicating with the evaluation
board in PCM/MPI mode. The VP-Script program uses a command menu to send information to
and receive information from the evaluation board.
Refer to the VP-Script Software User's Guide, PID# 080757 for more detailed information.
The ACIF2-A Hardware Board and the WinACIF Software are an alternate platform that can be
used to communicate with the chipset. Once the software has been initialized with the correct
chipset configuration, a command menu is used to send information to and receive information from
the QLSLAC device. The ACIF2-A Hardware Board supports both PCM and GCI modes.
Refer to the WinACIF Software User's Guide, PID# 080269 for more detailed information.
