Commands:

Name Description
SPIReadIDInput: DevVoid
Output: DevLong
ID		 Read ID
StateInput: DevVoid
Output: State
Device state		 This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller.
StatusInput: DevVoid
Output: ConstDevString
Device status		 This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller.
WriteFPGAInput: DevVarLongArray
FPGA address and data.
Output: DevVoid		 Write data to FPGA.
WriteDisplayInput: DevVarLongArray
Command, value
Output: DevVoid		 Write command to display
InitPiLCInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Command to initialize the PiLC. It is automatically called when the server is started.
ReadFPGAInput: DevLong
FPGA address.
Output: DevLong
Output		 Read data from FPGA.
ReadDisplayInput: DevLong
Command
Output: DevLong
Output		 Read data from Display
WriteIOBoardInput: DevVarLongArray
Command and data (red, green, blue).
Output: DevVoid		 Write data to IOBoard
WriteIOCardInput: DevVarLongArray
IOCard module, command and value
Output: DevVoid		 Write data to IOCard
ReadIOCardInput: DevVarLongArray
IOCard module and command
Output: DevLong
Output		 Read data from IOCard
WriteMainBoardInput: DevVarLongArray
Command and value

ReadMainBoardInput: DevLong
Command
Output: DevLong
Output		 Read data from main board
EPCSProgramInput: DevString
Program file name
Output: DevVoid		 Reprogram FPGA. Information read from external files: argument name epcs_output.hex PiLC is restarted at the end.
SPISendBytesInput: DevVarLongArray
Operation code, bytes, debug flag
Output: DevLong
Output data		 Send bytes. If debug is set to 1, a file called epcs_output.hex needs to open to write.
SPIReadStatusInput: DevVoid

SPIErasePageInput: DevLong
Address
Output: DevVoid		 —
SPIEraseSectorInput: DevLong
Length
Output: DevVoid		 Erase the number of pages given by the input argument, starting with adress 0 and increasing the address by 0x010000
USVUpdateInput: DevVarLongArray
