Prototype Board Initial Setup There are several boards that are included with the Development System. The Carrier Boards have a HumPRO Series transceiver on a daughter board with headers. These boards snap into sockets on the other boards, enabling the modules to be easily moved among the test boards. There are two Programming Docks that have a socket for a Carrier Board and a USB interface for connection to a PC.
Using the Prototype Board Supply for the module is connected through R17. This can be removed and replaced by another supply or used to measure the current consumption of Snap a Carrier Board onto the socket on the Prototype Board as shown in the module.
If the range you are able to nickname is entered using the development kit software and can be achieve is significantly less than specified by Linx for the products you are any name that helps distinguish the modules from one another. This is...
The Compatibility (COMPAT) setting allows communication with legacy Figure 11: The Master Development System Software Advanced Configuration Tab products. 1. Clicking the Contact Linx, Documentation and About labels on the left side expands them to 8. The Radio group configures the radio settings of the module.

20. The Reset Module button issues a command to restart the module. 21. When an 868MHz module is active, the ENCSMA becomes a drop-down menu that selects the LBT + AFA settings (Figure 15). Figure 15: The Master Development System Software 868MHz Advanced Configuration Tab The modules are shown with four identifiers as shown in Figure 16.

The Command Set tab (Figure 21) allows specific commands to be written to the module. Figure 22: The Master Development System Software Command Set Tab Commands Menu Figure 21: The Master Development System Software Command Set Tab 1. The Command box shows the hexadecimal values that are written to the module.
Development Kit Demonstration Software Example This example shows how to configure two modules to work with each other. The software defaults to the Advanced Configuration tab when opened (Figure 25). Figure 25: The Master Development System Software Advanced Configuration Tab at Start-up Figure 27: The Master Development System Software with Connected Modules Install Carrier Boards onto the Programming Docks and plug a USB cable between the Programming Docks and the PC.
