Hi there, I'd like to develop some Labview based application in Windows 7 environment. Any software tool/API I can use to get the data transfered from DA14850 to PC?
Currently I have firmware running on the slave MCU which is connected with DA14850. It fetches data from DA14850 and then sends it out. The Labview API support is the only concern in my application.
There isn't any specific application or sw available that can interface directly with labview, if that is what you are looking for, but you could use the UART interface in order to transfer serial data from the 580 towards the pc and process tha data using anykind of tool you would like.
I dont quite get the question, what is that you would like to test ? You can use a Serial terminal in order to output the data that are emmited from the 580 (that imposes that you have a fw in the 580 running and outputing data on the UART port) by using the FTDI that is on the dev kit or attach an FTDI chip on your custom board. The "UART testing" is a bit vague as a question, there is in the peripheral examples the UART projects that output data using the UART interface but those examples dont include any BLE functionallity. In order to output some data via UART while having BLE functionallity you will have to get one of the SDK examples and enable the UART functionallity, but all the above is fw that should be downloaded on the 580.
Thanks for the reply, maybe I need rephrase my question. So currently I have BLE setup on 580 side and IOS cell phone side, data transmission is all good. But I want to switch from IOS to PC at the moment so that I can do more data analysis by using powerful tools on PC. My question is do we have any sample project(including driver or anything else necessary) here on PC in order to build the bridge between 580 and PC so as to catch BLE data emmmited from 580? Thanks!
There is the Connection Manager, a PC application which needs the USB dongle provided by dialog but it is just a PC application with limited capabilities for exploring the characteristics of a peripheral device and logging the GTL messages exchanged, i am not sure if it will suit you but you can give it a try. Apart from that there are the external proximity projects (for monitor and reporter) which operate on PC, so you might want to have a look at those projects, you can have a look at UM-B-010 User manual in order to get started. But both of those application require a fully embedded configuration (the application runs on an external MCU, at the mentioned examples the external MCU is the PC and they exchange messages over UART).

谢谢你的回复。所以is there any existing tool/sw on the PC side can be used for UART testing? Thanks.
