Main Application
4 iPort Message Center
The iPort Message Center supports I 2 C Master Transmit and Master Receive
activities for all MCC I 2 C Bus host adapters. With this program you can create,
save, and execute scripts of I
2
C Master messages.
The iPort Message Center allows a PC to become an I 2 C Master transmitter or
receiving device, sending I 2 C messages between the PC and one or more I 2 C
devices across an I 2 C Bus.
The iPort Message Center is designed to be a simple application for experimenting
with I
2 C messages. It provides methods to:
1. Enter/Edit a list of I
2
C Master Transmit or Receive Messages.
2. Save and/or Load a list of I 2 C Master messages to/from disk.
3. Transmit the current list of I 2 C Master messages, with the option to
auto-repeat upon completion, send on INT signal assertion (with INT signal
supported adapters only), and beep or stop on special I
2 C Bus events.
4. Use command line arguments to automatically load, send, and save I
2
C
messages from a batch file or another program.
Each I
2
C message can transfer up to 32 bytes of 8-bit data, with Repeated Start and
Time Delay options.
