Light Sensor Evaluation Modules
This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the OPT light sensor evaluation modules
(OPTEVM). The user's guide details how to set up and configure the software and hardware, and reviews
various aspects of the program operation. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation
module, and EVM are synonymous with the OPT light sensor EVM (OPTEVM). This document also includes an
electrical schematic, printed circuit board (PCB) layout drawings, and a parts list for the EVM.
This user's guide is applicable for the following devices:
