Welcome! Today’s Webinar: PIKA’s MonteCarlo Tools • Irene Crosby • Head of Marketing • PIKA Technologies
Your Webinar Leader Eric Pretlac Technical Support Specialist Customer Care Department
Familiarization with MShow • Audio streaming • Sending us questions
Agenda • Overview of tools included with the MonteCarlo SDK • PikaSetup.exe • Overview of each screen (analog and digital boards) • DSP Calculator.xls • Used for estimating DSP resources • Example • PikaTest.exe • Test utility, Examples • PikaATD.exe • Advanced Tone Detection utility
MC Tools on all PIKA boards • The content of this webinar applies to all PIKA MM-series boards • PIKA PrimeNet MM, PIKA Daytona MM, PIKA InLine MM • Equipped with Motorola 56303 DSPs to support PIKA’s “All-on-Board” features
MonteCarlo Tools PikaSetup.exe
PikaSetup.exe • Hardware configuration utility • Overview of each screen • Logging (Pikalog.txt) • Daytona MM (analog) • Analog port settings • PrimeNet MM (digital) • Span line settings • DSP configuration
PikaSetup vs. PK_Config • PIKA Setup.exe utility can configure line interface and DSP settings • PK_Config API can also accomplish this from within your application • Suggestion: Use PikaSetup utility at first to establish a development environment. Once you are comfortable with your setup you can build this into your application using PK_CONFIG API calls.
MonteCarlo Tools DSP Calculator.xls
DSPcalculator • Spreadsheet used to estimate DSP horsepower required for an application • All MM-series cards use the same DSP (Motorola’s 56303 DSP) • Same spreadsheet for all MM-series cards • C:\PIKA\Bin\DSPcalc563xx.xls • Calculates MIPS (Real-time) and Memory • MIPS = Millions of Instructions Per Second
Resource estimation: Example • PC-PBX with fax capabilities • 24 trunks to PSTN with IVR, auto attendant capabilities, voicemail, etc. • Want to add fax capability on all trunks, any 2 simultaneous max. • dspcalc563xx.xls shows we can add 2 channels of fax Tx and Rx • No additional DSPs required

MonteCarlo Tools PikaTest.exe
PikaTest.exe: Test utility • Completely re-designed for MC 6.2 • Extremely valuable debug tool ! • Gives the user access to nearly all the functions in the API • Handy for understanding features, learning how API functions work • Scripting capability • Source code is available for download !
PikaTest.exe: Help • For command-line help type ‘?’ • Examples ? <keyword> ? audio ? switch • “How to” help ? how to fsk
PikaTest: Audio play and record • ? ap • ap {l or d} <index> {filename} • ap d0 greeting.au • ar d1 testrec.au
PikaTest: Switch connections • Make a half duplex connection • ? switch • shc <l or d> <index> <l or d> <index> • shc d0 d1
PikaTest: Exercise Play an audio file from one DSP port to another on the same card and record to a new file. Step 1. Connect two DSP ports Step 2. Start recording on destination port Step 3. Start playing on originating port Step 4. Stop recording
MonteCarlo Tools PikaATD.exe
