Main Application
5 iPort Message Manager
The iPort Message Manager supports I 2 C Master and Slave, Transmit and Receive
activities for all MCC I 2 C Bus host adapters, allowing a PC to become an I 2 C
Master or Slave device, transmitting or receiving I

C messages between the PC and
one or more I 2 C devices across an I 2 C Bus.
The Message Manager is designed to be a simple application for experimenting
with I
2 C messages. Message Manager provides methods to:
1. Set the I
2
C adapter’s own I
2
C Slave address, General Call Enable, and other
operating parameters.
2. Master Transmit ASCII text or Hex (00...FF) data to a specified I 2 C Slave
Receiver device.
3. Master Receive data from a specified I 2 C Slave device.
4. Perform Master Read after Write operations.
5. Slave Transmit data to a requesting I
2 C Master device.
6. Display Master or Slave Receive data in hexadecimal or ASCII.
