KIO2 / KDSP2 question

Mike Markowski-2
I'm trying to write a snippet of code that will grab the KDSP2 firmware
revisions of the DSP and KDSP2 controller.  The problem I have is that I
can't seem to grab both of these strings using a DS command.

After sending the appropriate commands to have the version info
displayed, first the DSP flash firmware is shown, then 2 seconds later
the microcontroller firmware version.  But I can never retrieve both
strings via the KIO2.  Should it be possible to send a DS twice
(properly timed) during that display to get each string?

Thanks and 73,
Mike ab3ap

Re: KIO2 / KDSP2 question

Let me describe better what I'm trying to do.  When correctly commanded, the
KDSP2 will first display version info

  DSP 3.16

and then 2 seconds later will display

  CTL 3.10

(The version numbers are made up - I'm at work now.)  What I had hoped to do was
send a DS to retrieve the display state and get the 'DSP ...' string.  Then 2000
ms later, send a second DS to get the display at that point.

What happens, though, is that no matter how I adjust the timing, I can only get
the final 'CTL 3.10' display but nothing when I had hoped to retrieve the 'DSP
3.16'.  Or, I can get only the 'DSP 3.16' and not the CTL display.

Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do?  Or is the 2 s delay still part of a
single K2 display that can't be retrieved via two DS commands?

Thanks,
Mike ab3ap
