2.2

On-Board Logic Analyzer

The DEMO9S08MP16 board has a built-in 2-channel logic analyzer which

may be used to display captured data in real-time on a host PC. The logic

analyzer channels (IN0/IN1) are connected to the PTA2 and PTA3 signals on

the DEMO9S08MP16 board by default via the J9 jumpers. The channels may

be connected to any of the processor pins via wire jumpers (not included).

The Logic Analyzer Utility, included in the P&E Embedded Multilink Toolkit on

the accompanying DVD-ROM, displays the logic analyzer signals on a PC.

2.3

On-Board Virtual USB Port

The DEMO9S08MP16 board has a built-in virtual serial port which may be

connected to the MP16 processor’s SCI RXD/TXD. This allows certain PC

applications to be able to connect in a serial fashion to the microcontroller

without the actual use of serial port hardware.

The Terminal Window Utility, included in the P&E Embedded Multilink Toolkit

on the accompanying DVD-ROM, is a generic serial port utility which works

with the DEMO9S08MP16 virtual serial port or actual serial port hardware.
