Question
Can User App communicate directly with the driver?
Yes
What is the advantage of the APP/Class/DLL interface?
Portability
Flexibility
Code Simplicity:
1. Dim USBDevice As MPUSBClass
2. USBDevice = New MPUSBClass(TxtData, dispDelegate)
3. USBDevice.TargetVID_PID="vid_04d8&pid_000c
4. USBDevice.TargetEP=" \MCHP_EP1
5. USBDevice. DeviceSerialNumber=1033
6. USBDevice.USBListen=True
7. USBDevice.SendCommand(READ_DATA)
Device with SN 1033 will automatically be tracked on the USB bus (even
if other devices with the same VID/PID are plugged into the system.
The communication is only between the Host and this device.
Sub ProcessData is automatically called by the class when USB data
arrives.

Data Rate Ideas
USB Data Rate (USB Communicator APP)
64 Kbytes/sec max in INT mode
Use BULK transfer
Modify USBListenServer to use MPUSBReadInt function

Missed reads on 1 ms intervals result in at least 1 packet
transmission miss (1 ms latency)
Or
Increase MAX_READBUFFER_SIZE to 6400 bytes (RxTimeout
should also increase to over 100 ms)
Both In and Out EPs must be BULK (embedded software)
Avoid/minimize updating form controls/converting large

amounts of data to string from within the data callback
function
Example: Commenting out the 4 lines inside DisplayData sub

marked as Start Speed Test End Speed Test improves
throughput from 17 Kbytes/sec to 32 Kbytes/sec (Int mode)

Data Rate Ideas
USB Data Rate (USB Communicator APP)
Request Reads for Multiple Data Packets
i.e., read 6400 bytes instead of 64 bytes
Use Overlapped Reads
Number of callbacks/sec are limited by system resources, larger

data reads will minimize number of callbacks
Example: Going from 64 to 6400 reads in Bulk mode improves
data throughput from 32 Kbytes/sec to 172.8 Kbytes/sec (change
MAX_READBUFFER_SIZE constant to 6400 and keep the Speed
Test lines commented out)
Multiple data read requests setup to execute consecutively,

upon completion of the current read operation (minimizes
idle time between reads)
Use Ping-Pong Buffers in Conjunction with

Overlapped Reads
