RM1/RM2 Mobile Processors
RM1 Mobile Processor (RM2 not pictured)
RM1/RM2 Overview
The System 3 platform includes two self-contained real-time processors: the Mini
Processor and the Mobile Processor. Designed as an affordable test-bed system for
designing and debugging RPvdsEx circuits, each device includes stereo A/D and D/
A, an adjustable onboard speaker, and can drive headphones at up to 100 dB SPL.
The devices draw power from the USB interface of the computer and work well with
laptop computers for maximum portability. These economical mobile systems can also
be used for basic psychoacoustics.
For detailed information on each member of the RM family check the technical
specifications of the module.
Power Requirements
Power is provided across the USB connection to a host PC. The RM draws
approximately 300 mAmps from a 6 Volt input. The draw on a portable PC battery
will depend on the power requirements of the portable PC and the properties of the
battery. In many cases, the user may see less than 10% decrease of the battery
life.
Users can attach an external power supply such as an AC adapter (available on
request) or an external pack such as a motorcycle battery (input range of 6-9
Volts).
Software Control
Software control is implemented with circuit files developed using TDT's RP Visual
Design Studio (RPvdsEx). Circuits are loaded to the processor through TDT run-
time applications or custom applications. This manual includes device specific
information needed during circuit design. For circuit design techniques and a complete
reference of the RPvdsEx circuit components, see the
RPvdsEx Manual
