DEMO-BOARD XTR-8LR100 (Picture 1) e DEMO-BOARD XTR-8LR10 (Picture 2) is an evaluation board
of the transceiver module XTR-8LR100 and module XTR-8LR10 which can easily check functionality,
power consumption, commands and performance of radio link. The difference between the two demo board
is on the mounted module, XTR-8LR100 that have mode of operation, Normal, Rx ciclyc, Tx ADC value
and XTR-8LR10 that is implemented the Normal mode operation.
For more detail about the operation mode refer to the user manual of the used module.
The device is able to work with external power supply or powered by four AA batteries, for tests in stand-
alone. It is included a stylus antenna operating on the 868 MHz band connected to the SMA connector,
thereby using the test mode through some diagnostic led, it is possible to realize radio links.
The DEMO-BOARD is equipped with a USB connector with COM port emulation realized with CI
FTDI1235-C and an SMA input connector radio output for the RF connections measurement instruments.
The following table shows in detail the various elements included in the board, through commented image.
