Installation Guide for Axxon LF755KB PCI Express (PCIe) 4 Port RS422 SMPTE I/O Card (Low/Standard Height Mounting) V1.0 Development Suggestions 1) Do review the Oxford OXCB950 UART documentation available through Axxon and also the following website: http://www.oxsemi.com 2) Do note the EEPROM write delays required for a valid save. That is, methods including nested loops for delays can be critical and cause an invalid write value to be saved as the host CPU system is ran at higher speeds.
