Can't do much of anything without the chip reference. I just did the usual google-ing ( is that a word now? ) around and came up with a detailed spec sheet and then no opcodes!? Why have a datasheet without the opcodes? That is annoying. I think you need to go "old school" here and begin some basic social engineeering ( something I was once very good at ) on the TI engineering staff to see if someone will dig out what you need. It is hardly a national secret. Dennis
