STMicroelectronics AN1754 Data Logging Program Application Note

About this manual

This document details a data logging system designed to record variable or register values from ST7 microcontroller applications during development. The system utilizes the ICC (In-Circuit Communication) protocol to connect the ST7 device with an external controller, such as a PC running the STVP7 software interface.

The note provides instructions for configuring both the PC-side software and the ST7-side code. It explains how to adapt the package for specific ST7 devices, manage ICC mode entry settings, and handle data transmission between the microcontroller and the PC to store data in a file for later analysis.
