3.6.5 eZ430-Chronos GUI Sources
Full sources of the eZ430-Chronos Control Center and eZ430-Chronos Data Logger are available in the
eZ430-Chronos software packages for Windows SLAC341 and Linux SLAC388. The sources are copied
to your system during the software installation. The graphical user interfaces are based on TCL/Tk.
3.6.5.1 eZ430-Chronos GUI for Windows
The eZ430-Chronos PC software consists of a TCL/Tk executable and a DLL, which handles the
communication with the RF access Point. Download TCL/Tk for Windows for free from
http://www.activestate.com/activetcl. Once TCL/Tk was installed on the computer, a double-click on a TCL
script (*.tcl) starts the interpreter and executes the script. Alternatively, start the TCL interpreter wish.exe
and execute the script with the "source" command. If the script filename contains blanks, put it into quotes.
The sources files are located in C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\eZ430-Chronos\Control Center\GUI

3.6.5.1.1 TCL/TK Handling
A wrapping tool is needed to compile all TCL/Tk components into standalone applications. The freeware
tool Freewrap http://freewrap.sourceforge.net may be used for that purpose.
1. Open Command Prompt
2. Navigate to the Freewrap directory; for example, C:\Tcl\freewrap
3. Start Freewrap with the complete path to the TCL script to be wrapped; for example, freewrap.exe
C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\eZ430-Chronos\Control Center\eZ430-Chronos Control
Center\eZ430-Chronos CC 1_2.tcl
A standalone application, which only requires the corresponding Windows DLL is generated. It can be
used on every PC, TCL/Tk must not be installed.
