3.1.1 Software Overview

The DLP Discovery 4100 Explorer GUI allows the user to control the DLPLCRC410EVM controller board hardware via USB 2.0 (or 1.1). The software uses the Discovery 4100 ActiveX™ control API which is documented separately in the DLP® Discovery™ 4100 Development Platform API Programmer’s Guide (DLPU039). The software has controls for building and executing a command script.

The GUI provides users with access to the ActiveX control’s implementations of the following commands:

  • Load individual blocks or entire DMD from image file
  • Reset individual blocks or global reset
  • Clear individual blocks or global clear
  • Float all DMD mirrors
  • Wait for external global reset input
  • Timed delay
  • Loop iteration control – Loop for N times or until break
  • General purpose digital output control
  • Display internal test patterns
  • Override HW switch (SW1) settings
Note:

The GUI tool is intended for DMD demonstration capabilities only. The GUI tool is not intended for 24/7 operation, nor does the GUI necessarily meet customer end-application requirements as designed.
